9 includes a copy of the master terminfo database. Supports
10 color, multiple highlights, forms-drawing characters, and
11 automatic recognition of keypad and function-key sequences.
12 Extensions include resizable windows and mouse support on both
13 xterm and Linux console using the gpm library. C++ binding
14 (not supported) and example. Ada95 binding and examples.
15 Includes man pages, test programs. Approved to replace 4.4BSD
