It's been a long time since I fought this battle .... :)

I have an application written in c++, very much written in objects, etc. I have a makefile that compiles and links the application.

I am...

Yes, all of the "tricks" that I can think of. And also, yes, using color 15 for the white background and 16 for the black foreground (see the attachment) seemed to be the best combination for a...

I am using ncurses to develop a user interface. Perhaps I should be using something else, but I am reasonably comfortable with ncurses and don't really want to climb another learning curve at this...
