+       The  <STRONG>form</STRONG> 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.
 
-       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>.

-       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.
+       Your program should set up the locale, e.g.,
 
+            <STRONG>setlocale(LC_ALL,</STRONG> <STRONG>"");</STRONG>
