NCurses
Appearance
An open source version of the curses programming library, unlike PD Curses the nCursees package requires a database of teminal specifications, which is a part of separate package called terminfo. nCusrses is in general the more popular choice in UNIX environments while PD Curses has had better support in Windows, OS/2 and similar systems in addition to slightly better performance and lack of licensing issues, but code is in general portable between the two systems.
