Such a thing probably does not exist  as-is   It doesn t really exist on Linux or other UNIX-like operating systems either though   ncurses is only a library that helps you manage interactions with the underlying terminal environment  But it doesn t provide a terminal emulator itself   The thing that actually displays stuff on the screen  which in your requirement is listed as  native resizable win32 windows   is usually called a Terminal Emulator  If you don t like the one that comes with Windows  you aren t alone  no person on Earth does  there are a few alternatives  There is Console  which in my experience works sometimes and appears to just wrap an underlying Windows terminal emulator  I don t know for sure  but I m guessing  since there is a menu option to actually get access to that underlying terminal emulator  and sure enough an old crusty Windows DOS box appears which mirrors everything in the Console window    A better option  Another option  which may be more appealing is puttycyg  It hooks in to Putty  which  coming from a Linux background  is pretty close to what I m used to  and free  but actually accesses an underlying cygwin instead of the Windows command interpreter  CMD EXE   So you get all the benefits of Putty s awesome terminal emulator  as well as nice ncurses  and many other  libraries provided by cygwin  Add a couple command line arguments to the Shortcut that launches Putty  or the Batch file  and your app can be automatically launched without going through Putty s UI
