[Gambas-user] ncurses component

[Demosthenes Koptsis]

Goodmorning to all in the list,

ncurses are very usefull for profesionals which work as admins with 
dedicated servers and want a gui style for their terminal.

when i was admin i used iptraf which is a monitoring tool writen in ncurses.

Think that monitoring tools (htop), admin tools (yast) are very usefull 
for console guys, are more faster and are the last option after a 
computer crash.

I think ncurses+gambas = Great, it would be a nice easy way to have gui 
console apps !!!
