pico text editor
I was wondering if there is any way to get a version of pico for windows. I have done a lot of programming work on Linux/UNIX exvironments for school, and I enjoy using pico for my programming needs, but I find all of the text editors in windows horrible, they distort my code and do not adhere to simple file formatting rules.
Is there a version of pico avaible for windows out there?

It couldn't find the ncurses library.
Install that and recompile.
