Now it's written in C folks. The perl stuff is nice for prototyping,
but you'll run in trouble if you want to use some more advanced curses
features. The listbox provided by Curses::Widgets simply sucks big
time. Just check out the new client, and you'll never want to go
back...

Still very beta. The basics are working, but it needs more finetuning.
"make" should compile the thing. You'll need the devel packages for ncurses and mysql. You might have to adjust the Makefile that gcc finds the includes/libraries. No autoconf yet, sorry.
You'll need properly configured locale, otherwise you'll run in trouble with 8bit chars. For me "export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.iso-8859-1" does the trick.
Navigating in the lists works the usual way: up/down, pgup/pgdown. You can also start typing, this will jump to the entry which starts with the typed letters (sorta like the incremental search in emacs). In the song list you'll need a space as first character. All other important keys are listed at the bottom of the screen.
It checks the $MP3SERVER and $SQLSERVER environment variables to find the mp3 server box like the perl script did.
That's all docs for the moment.
Have fun,
Gerd
