[Bioperl-l] ncurses and bioperl?

Hello,

(Be careful: the following is a very naive question)

Something that I find myself missing is a simple way to look 
at alignments and trees on remote machines where I don't 
have access to X. Since, 
	(1) one can make wonderful terminal programs like screen 
and emacs by using ncurses, 
	(2) that alignment and tree objects are already well 
handled in bioperl, and 
	(3) that there is a CPAN Curses module; 

doing 1+2+3, may I dream of a curse/bioperl perl program to 
render alignment and trees? I suppose a plain C program 
would be much better, but well I am a biologist...

Thanks,

--Tristan
