Editing Curses (programming library) (section)

== Portability ==
Although the ncurses library was initially developed under Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, it has been ported to many other ANSI/POSIX UNIX systems, mainly by Thomas Dickey. PDCurses, while not identical to ncurses, uses the same function calls and operates the same way as ncurses does except that PDCurses targets different devices, e.g., console windows for [[DOS]], [[Win32]], [[OS/2]], as well as [[X11]]. Porting between the two is not difficult. For example, the [[roguelike]] game ''[[Ancient Domains of Mystery|ADOM]]'' was written for Linux and ncurses, later ported to DOS and PDCurses.<ref>{{cite web
