+That is the standard way, of course (it even works with some vendor's curses
+implementations).
+Its drawback is that it clears the screen to reinitialize the display, and does
+not resize subwindows which must be shrunk.
+<CODE>Ncurses</CODE> provides an extension which works better, the
+<CODE>resizeterm</CODE> function. That function ensures that all windows
+are limited to the new screen dimensions, and pads <CODE>stdscr</CODE>
+with blanks if the screen is larger. <P>
+
+Finally, ncurses can be configured to provide its own SIGWINCH handler,
+based on <CODE>resizeterm</CODE>.
