Ncurses (new curses) started as a freely distributable clone of SVr4 curses. It has outgrown the clone description, and now contains many features which are not in SVr4 curses. Curses is a pun on the term "cursor optimization". It is a library of functions that manage an application's display on character-cell terminals. This is an update to the latest major release with new features: http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/announce-6.0.html As we have already been using "ABI 6" for some time, this update remains ABI compatible with our 5.9 packages. -- Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
