 132      (description
 133       "The Ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses
 134 in System V Release 4.0, and more.  It uses Terminfo format, supports pads
 135 and color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key
 136 mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD Curses.
 137
 138 The ncurses code was developed under GNU/Linux.  It has been in use for some
 139 time with OpenBSD as the system curses library, and on FreeBSD and NetBSD as
 140 an external package.  It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming
 141 UNIX.  It has even been ported to OS/2 Warp!")
