title: Programming text user interfaces on modern Windows
body: <p>Is there any <em>Windows way</em> to go about creating text user interfaces via a terminal control library on modern Windows operating systems ? (7/8/10 etc) I am aware of the curses family of libraries have been ported from their Unix-like systems to work on Windows. But outside of that I can't find anything. Does Windows just assume you are either going to make a program handled by simple input / output to command prompt or make a full blown GUI application?</p>
