I don't know. I had the job of porting the sources--I did the Linux
port--but ran into the same problem I did with porting Jzip. EMX+curses
isn't _quite_ enough like Unix to make the screen handling work right. It
will require rewriting the video I/O sections.

Graduate school is kicking my ass. I do not have time to do it, although
it should not be terribly difficult.

Perhaps some kind soul would like to volunteer. You just need to get the
source from Mike Roberts, although the Unix-patched sources from Dave
Baggett are actually the best place to start, I think.
