c++ ncurses

Are there any C++ libraries similar to Ncurses, but for Windows? It seems there are no ports of Ncurses and I need a really good display system like it.

Any suggestions? Cross-platform is a plus.

There is very similar library PDCurses. It uses the same calls as ncurses, but works on Win32. The only thing you'd need to port a program would be to recompile.
