1. Blocking NCurses

Will 2.3 have a way to block ncurses? Such as without ncurses?
I posted this one before, but don't remeber gettting an answer
(maybe because i accidently said with instead of without.)
I do have a library that does block ncurses, just in case the answer is no.

If I have time, I may look into having an option to
build Euphoria for Linux without ncurses.
ncurses is the least standard of the libraries
that Euphoria depends on, so it would
help Euphoria's portability if it were optional.
A lot of simple apps and X-Windows apps
don't need 2-D text support.

It's a library on Linux (and most other Unixes) that
lets you write text at any line and column on the screen,
and also in color. DOS people just take this for granted,
but in the Unix world there are hundreds of different
types of terminals, so supporting 2-D text with color
portably is a major undertaking.

How about just a 'without ncurses' directive?
All output then goes directly to STDOUT

A run-time switch to turn off ncurses and use
STDOUT exclusively would help in some situations,
and I may do that, but I'd also like to promote
easy portability by having a version of Euphoria
that can be built and run without ncurses even
being available on the host Linux (or Unix) system.
For instance I would personally like to have a
version for FreeBSD (RapidEuphoria.com)
that would only use STDOUT, not ncurses.
FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a compatible ncurses.
