This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the ncurses
library and terminfo utilities. ncurses/terminfo was written by Pavel
Curtis and Zeyd M. Ben-Halim <zmbenhal@netcom.com>. Ncurses is
copyright (C) 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 by Zeyd M. Ben-Halim.

Galen Hazelwood <galenh@micron.net> created this package, from sources
found under ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/zm/zmbenhal/ncurses.  It
borrows heavily from the original debianization put together by Bruce
Perens <Bruce@Pixar.com> and benifitted considerably from a lot of
help from David Engel <david@elo.ods.com>.  Michael Alan Dorman
<mdorman@debian.org> arranged the beast into its present form, and put
a lot of effort into making ncurses fit with Debian in the best way
possible.  His patches for packaging the ill-fated 4.1 release form the
backbone of this version.  The current maintainer is greatly in debt to
his illustrious predecessors.

Changes:
 * added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files
 * changed Makefile.in's to compile with -D_REENTRANT
 * Minor fix to termcap emulation (ncurses/lib_termcap.c)
 * Fixed tget{flag,num,str} in lib_termcap ("long" strings work now)
 * Added /etc/terminfo directory support (ncurses/read_entry.c)
 * Hacked aclocal.m4 (and rebuilt configure), added -lc to shared library link
 * Minor changes to two manpages (ncurses, tic)

 * Updated terminfo database file (misc/terminfo.src)
 * Tweaked khome/kend in xterm
 * Kterm now inherits from older xterm entry
 * Removed ich(1) from linux, screen, vt320
