I can compile a file which uses curses.h (included by: `extern "C" {
#include<curses.h> };`) in UNIX with `g++ main.cpp -lcurses`.

How can I compile in visual studio C++?  An extremely simple example
that compiles in VC++ would be great.

I believe under the file menu there should be an option to compile the
program, im at work now, but when I get home, I will look this up for
you properly.
