Suggestion: Do not make zpaqfranz's code larger than required - provide a way to use our own *Curses installation. That would be recommended for OpenBSD (and OmniOS?) installations anyway.

I don't think I will port any 'graphical interface' other than for Windows.
I had exactly one happy user for "the GUI" (other than me) :)
There is (usually) no need to heavily rename files before extraction, except for zfs snapshots in Windows
In fact, there is even a whole dd.exe in the source :)
I am currently doing some refactoring to reduce the C++ level requirement by avoiding a switch to macOS.
Some refactoring is running underway
First I want to make a PAKKA-style GUI for Windows, because I want to use it myself (obviously)
For other systems we'll see on the feedbacks.

PS there is a script to "automagically" strip down Windows stuffs making the Debian-ready .cpp, but I am lazy... soooo lazyyyyyy...

I have just tried the GUI on Windows and I actually would love to have it on macOS, so that’s that.
