  35. updating text screens with reasonable optimization.  This distribution
  36. contains two libraries (both with source code): a port of Amiga
  37. curses that runs with Acorn Clib/RISC_OSLib in a window, and a port
  38. of Minix curses that runs under Huw Rogers UnixLib library from the
  39. command line.
