   *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 [email-masked]  (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
