Hi folks,
|
|
|
|
This is the second release of the ncurses library, maintained for ELF, by
|
|
H.J. Dihu. It's been ported and well tested by myself and a couple of
|
|
others for a while now. Any Linux-specific bug reports, please send to
|
|
me, all others, please send to the original author. My email address is
|
|
macgyver@tos.net. As of this release, ncurses replaces the BSD curses
|
|
package as the 'standard' curses for Linux. BSD has even dropped it's
|
|
standard curses package in favor of the more complete, and feature-filled
|
|
ncurses distribution. Some packages may need to be recompiled, but it
|
|
is not strictly necessary.
|
|
|
|
