-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <B>form</B> library provides terminal-independent facilities
- for composing form screens on character-cell terminals.
- The library includes: field routines, which create and
- modify form fields; and form routines, which group fields
- into forms, display forms on the screen, and handle inter-
- action with the user.
+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NAME">NAME</a></H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>form</STRONG> - curses extension for programming forms
- The <B>form</B> library uses the <B>curses</B> libraries, and a curses
- initialization routine such as <B>initscr</B> must be called
- before using any of these functions. To use the <B>form</B>
- library, link with the options <B>-lform</B> <B>-lcurses</B>.
-
-
- <B>Current</B> <B>Default</B> <B>Values</B> <B>for</B> <B>Field</B> <B>Attributes</B>
- The <B>form</B> library maintains a default value for field
- attributes. You can get or set this default by calling
- the appropriate <B>set_</B> or retrieval routine with a <B>NULL</B>
- field pointer. Changing this default with a <B>set_</B> function
- affects future field creations, but does not change the
- rendering of fields already created.
-
-
- <B>Routine</B> <B>Name</B> <B>Index</B>
- The following table lists each <B>form</B> routine and the name
- of the manual page on which it is described.

+ These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not sup-
+ ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
+ The menu facility was documented in SVr4.2 in <EM>Character</EM> <EM>User</EM> <EM>Interface</EM>
+ <EM>Programming</EM> <EM>(UNIX</EM> <EM>SVR4.2)</EM>.
+ It is not part of X/Open Curses.
+ Aside from ncurses, there are few implementations:
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> systems based on SVr4 source code, e.g., Solaris.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> NetBSD curses.
+ A few functions in this implementation are extensions added for
+ ncurses, but not provided by other implementations, e.g.,
+ <STRONG>form_driver_w</STRONG>, <STRONG>unfocus_current_field</STRONG>.
