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.

Not cross platform, but you could use the Windows API's Console Functions directly.
It looks like the GNUWin32 project provides a direct port of NCurses.
See here:

I would use CYGWIN with NCURSES: curses + crossplatforms, as you want.
Other than that, you can try Borland's old CONIO (there is a repository of old Borland Software at Embarcadero), or Microsoft's Win32 API Console.
SetEdit uses a port of Borland's TurboVision. This port is cross platform and can be found here, licensed under GPL.
