-Ancient history:       TACK -- the terminfo action checker
-
-   The purpose of this program is to verify the correctness of
-terminfos and to calculate the pads needed for each capability.
-This program is not designed to test curses and therefore uses
-as little of curses as possible.
-
-   This program was originally called TED.  In 1991 it was
-released to USENET in comp.sources.  TED was originally written to
-test both terminfos and termcaps.  The original intent was to
-create a terminfo editor.  This code fell quite short of its goal.
-Tests were controlled by command line switches and editing was done
-with pen and paper.
-
-   In 1995 Eric S. Raymond got interested in the program and added
-a first cut at making the program menu driven.  He also converted
-the code from K&R C to an ANSI/POSIX-conforming C.  He re-christened
-the program TAC (Terminfo Action Checker).  Eric also wrote a man
-page for TAC.
-
-   In 1997 I decided to dust off the code and make it easier to
-use by the novice.  I totally rewrote the menu system and added
-the editing features I originally planned for TED.  I also did
-a total rewrite of the code that does the timings.  In the process
-of rewriting the code I changed it to be more tightly coupled
-with ncurses.  By this time someone had taken the name TAC so
-I re-christened the program TACK.
