+The ncurses software includes a SVr4 and XSI-Curses compatible
+curses library as well as terminfo tools include "tic", "infocmp",
+and "captoinfo". The library is used by other programs for text-mode
+support of color, multiple highlights, forms-drawing characters,
+automatic recognition of keybad and function-key sequences, and
+more.
+
+The ncurses library uses a terminfo database (included), but can
+be configured to use BSD's /etc/termcap file instead. This has
+been approved by the old 4.4BSD curses maintainer as the official
+4.4BSD curses successor.
