Hi Yves,

   *ncurses-4.1*
   -----------

   - what is it?
     - As soon as a text application needs to directly control its
       output to the screen (e.g. wants to place the cursor at location
       x y and then write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the
       forms libraries are included in this package. These new
       libraries support color, special  characters and panels.

   - system
     - Windows NT4 German / SP3

   - preliminaries
     - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
       - umount /bin (if mounted)
       - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

   - configure
     - works without changes

   - make
     - works without changes

   - make install
     - works without changes

   - notes
     - works the same way for ncurses-4.2
       (according to noer AT cygnus DOT com  (Geoffrey Noer))

   - package availability
     - on ftp.franken.de
     - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
     - as ncurses-4.1-win32-bin.tar.gz
     - or ncurses-4.1-win32-bin.zip

   - contributed by

Bye.
Michael.
