--- Comment #1 from Bill Gray pluto@projectpluto.com --- (I am the maintainer of PDCursesMod.)
The WinGUI platform for PDCursesMod has worked nicely with Wine for many years now. Originally, I had to make one or two tweaks to my code to detect if we were running under Wine, and if we were, a few small things were done differently. The Wine folks have fixed those (thank you) and PDCursesMod/WinGUI now works nicely under Wine.
The PDCursesMod/WinCon platform, as Vladimir says, does not work so nicely. I didn't actually write the original WinCon code, and it does many things I've never really understood. My assumption (perhaps erroneous) has been that console software has not been a priority for Wine, and that I shouldn't really expect full support for a console application. (I should say that it's improved a bit over the years.)
Similarly, most of the PDCursesMod/VT platform fails under Wine. I've assumed that support for VT control sequences is very far down the list for implementation in the Wine console... but somebody actually working on Wine may correct me on that point.
I would recommend use of WinGUI over the other platforms anyway, even if they did work. WinGUI offers a considerably wider range of features and colors and attributes, both on Wine and on native Windows.
