## Description
**WARNING**: This is a prototype. Things will probably break; in spectacular
ways.
`kNCurses` extends the existing C++ library shipping with ncurses and provides a
tiling window manager and a pseudo terminal in a ncurses window.
## Building
Requires:
* GCC 9.3 (C++17)
* ncurses 6.2
* libvterm (0.1.2-2; r740 at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~libvterm/libvterm/trunk/revision/740)
* libmsgsl-dev 2.1.0-1 (Microsoft C++ Guidelines Support Library)
## Running
Though this is a library, there is a demo application. It starts the currently
running shell (or `/bin/bash` if `SHELL` environment variable is not set) and
runs it in a ncurses window.
