            variables or the terminal description.
 
-       Obtaining  the  window  size from the terminal description is common to
-       both implementations, but considered obsolescent.  Its  only  practical
-       use is for hardware terminals.  Generally speaking, a window size would
-       be unset only if there were some problem obtaining the value  from  the
-       operating  system  (and  <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> would still fail).  For that reason,
-       the <EM>LINES</EM> and <EM>COLUMNS</EM> environment variables may be useful  for  working
-       around  window-size  problems.   Those  have  the  drawback that if the
-       window is resized, those variables must be recomputed  and  reassigned.
-       To do this more easily, use the <STRONG>resize(1)</STRONG> program.
