While ee is based on curses, I have included here the source code to

The file new_curse.c contains a subset of 'curses', a package for
applications to use to handle screen output. Unfortunately, curses
varies from system to system, so I developed new_curse to provide
consistent behavior across systems. It works on both SystemV and BSD
systems, and while it can sometimes be slower than other curses packages,
it will get the information on the screen painted correctly more often

Easy Editor ("ee") provides the ability to translate the messages
displayed to the user and the commands entered. This is done via message
catalogs, following X/Open standards. ee supports eight bit characters,
as well as 16-bit characters. The Chinese Big 5 code set is the 16-bit
code set that ee was modified to handle, as it is relatively easy to
support since two byte characters also take up two columns on the screen,
thereby simplifying the screen position calculations. Other multibyte
code sets may function, but have not been tested.
