+ The ncurses (new curses) library is a freeware emulation of System V Release
+ 4.0 curses. It uses terminfo format, supports pads and color and multiple
+ highlights and forms characters and function-key mapping, and has all the
+ other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD curses. The distribution includes
+ the library and support utilities, including a terminfo compiler tic, a 
+ ecompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo.
+ Full manual pages are provided for the library and tools.
+
+ This package installs the ncurses and ncursesw 32 bit libraries for
