See the file ncurses-1.8.5/INSTALL for instraction how to build
and install ncurses.

ncurses is a SYSV-compatible curses (screen management) package.
It supports keypad() allowing access to function and arrow keys.
It supports and uses Terminfo instead of termcap for terminal description.
It has support for PC graphic characters (used in drawing boxes).
It has color support similar to that in SYSV curses.

It currently has support for the following:
Linux
386BSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD
BSDI's BSD/386
SYSTEM V R4
SunOs 4.1.3
Ultrix
HP/UX 9.0
HP/UX with c89 compiler
Apollo
NeXT 3.0
Some people are working on A/UX, AIX, SCO, DEC alpha, SunOs with glibc.

Any comments, bug reports, patches, additions are welcome.
There is a mailing for discussing ncurses and general Character-based user
interfaces. Send mail to [email-masked] asking to
be added.
If you have a program that's having problems running with ncurses either send
me a copy of it or tell where I can get a copy.
