Darwin Curses getch question

I recently set up a MacOSX 10.1/Darwin machine, and tried to build one
of my Curses programs on it.  The curses seems to be quite limited on
this OS though - no color support even.  Anyways, my question is, the
"nodelay" function is not available in the curses.h on this OS either. 
Is there some other way to read keys from the keyboard without waiting
for a response?

I tried to install ncurses but to no avail.  Apple (or whoever) has
cleverly integrated the crippled curses library with the main System
library, so that libncurses then has a bunch of symbol conflicts with
the System library (which you obviously cant NOT link with).
Im sure Im not the first one to encounter this problem and was hoping
someone could offer me some insight in how to get around this problem.

I know programs like pico and top work on MacOSX and these scan the
keyboard in a similar way I think, so there must be another way right?

Thanks in Advance,
