%%name: ncurses

%%short-description: Displays and updates text on text-only terminals.
 
%%full-description: The ncurses (new curses) lib is a free
software emulation of curses in System V Release 4.0 and more. It uses
terminfo format, supports pads and color and multiple highlights and
forms chracters and function-key mapping, and has all the other
SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD curses. It should port easily to
any ANSI/POSIX-conforming UNIX-like system.

The distribution includes the lib and support utilities, including
a terminfo compiler tic, a decompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and
a termcap conversion tool captoinfo.
