This program can be used to -create new terminal descriptions that are not included in the standard -release. Although 'tack' has been distributed with ncurses, it is not an -integral part of ncurses. It may be removed from the release without -limiting the usefulness of ncurses on those terminals described in the -terminfo data base. The best way to remove 'tack' from the build is -to delete or rename the 'tack' directory before running the configure -script. - -Starting with ncurses 5.6 patch 20070113, this program can be built -outside the ncurses source-tree, provided that ncurses is configured -using the "--with-ticlib" option. That makes available the private -interfaces used by tack, and eliminates the need to distribute tack -as an optional part of ncurses. - -Unlike the rest of ncurses, the 'tack' program is covered under the GNU -Public License.
