 113      (description
 114       "The Ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses
 115 in System V Release 4.0, and more.  It uses Terminfo format, supports pads
 116 and color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key
 117 mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD Curses.
 118
 119 The ncurses code was developed under GNU/Linux.  It has been in use for some
 120 time with OpenBSD as the system curses library, and on FreeBSD and NetBSD as
 121 an external package.  It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming
 122 UNIX.  It has even been ported to OS/2 Warp!")
