Is there an OCaml library to do curses-style manipulation of the Win32
console window? (And if so, please point me towards it.)

I'm not sure if curses itself works on Win32 -- I'd be surprised if it
didn't. In any case, an OCaml curses project is kicking off at the
moment. It (will be) here:

http://www.nongnu.org/ocaml-tmk/

There is some source available here:

http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/

and there will be both Fedora and Debian packages (not much use for
Windows users, but I thought I should say ...). We'd welcome a
Windows port if you want to send patches.

I have my own bindings for the few features I use of ncurses in one
application. For the Windows port I successfully use the curses
implementation provided by pdcurses (http://
pdcurses.sourceforge.net/), compiling under cygwin with -no-cygwin
options.

If ocaml curses comes to life, I would be very happy to give it a
shot. Ocaml-tmk seemed so dead that I preferred to use my own
bindings for the rather limited features we needed.
