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 /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 - mh AT mike DOT franken DOT de (Michael Hirmke) ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- > >- lv Bye.
