  97       "The Ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses
  98 in System V Release 4.0, and more.  It uses Terminfo format, supports pads
  99 and color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key
 100 mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD Curses.
 101
 102 The ncurses code was developed under GNU/Linux.  It has been in use for some
 103 time with OpenBSD as the system curses library, and on FreeBSD and NetBSD as
 104 an external package.  It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming
 105 UNIX.  It has even been ported to OS/2 Warp!")
