+       functions, with some differences from SVr4 curses:
 
 
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   It  added  functions like the SVr4 attribute-manipula-
+           tion functions <STRONG>slk_attron</STRONG>,  <STRONG>slk_attroff</STRONG>,  <STRONG>slk_attrset</STRONG>,
+           but  which use <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG> parameters (rather than <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>),
+           along with a reserved <EM>opts</EM> parameter.

+           Two of these new functions (unlike the SVr4 functions)
+           have  no  provision for color: <STRONG>slk_attr_on</STRONG> and <STRONG>slk_at-</STRONG>
+           <STRONG>tr_off</STRONG>.
+
+           The third function (<STRONG>slk_attr_set</STRONG>) has a color-pair pa-
+           rameter.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   It  added <STRONG>const</STRONG> qualifiers to parameters (unnecessari-
+           ly), and
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   It added <STRONG>slk_color</STRONG>.
+
+       The format codes <STRONG>2</STRONG> and <STRONG>3</STRONG> for  <STRONG>slk_init</STRONG>  and  the  function
+       <STRONG>slk_attr</STRONG> are specific to ncurses.
+
+       X/Open  Curses  does not specify a limit for the number of
+       colors and color pairs which a terminal can support.  How-
+       ever,  in  its use of <STRONG>short</STRONG> for the parameters, it carries
+       over SVr4's implementation detail for the compiled termin-
+       fo  database,  which uses signed 16-bit numbers.  This im-
+       plementation provides extended versions of those functions
+       which  use  <STRONG>short</STRONG> parameters, allowing applications to use
+       larger color- and pair-numbers.
