[snip more about your package and Andreas Kaseorg's one]

Hi,

Sorry for replying a bit late; I was on a short vacation last week and
I only got back to my e-mail this morning.

Well, the work I've done on PDCurses may be seen in the Debian Games Team's
Git repository -
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/libxcurses.git;a=summary
or, of course, http://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-games/libxcurses.git/
The truth is, just a couple of days ago I remembered that my ITPs of
this library and ASCIIpOrtal have been, well, languishing for a while;
I'll do something about them in the next couple of days :)

I'll certainly see what you've done and look for some ideas, and shame on
me for not checking if anybody had done anything like that for Ubuntu!

Thanks a lot for your message and the pointers; I'll get back to you when
I've had a bit more time to see what everybody else has been doing on
libpdcurses while I wasn't looking :)  It'll most probably be later today
or tomorrow.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

G'luck,
Peter
