+ This implementation of <STRONG>tput</STRONG> began from a different source
+ than AT&T or BSD: Ross Ridge's <EM>mytinfo</EM> package, published
+ on <EM>comp.sources.unix</EM> in December 1992. Ridge's program
+ made more sophisticated use of the terminal capabilities
+ than the BSD program. Eric Raymond used the <STRONG>tput</STRONG> program
+ (and other parts of <EM>mytinfo</EM>) in ncurses in June 1995.
+ Using the portions dealing with terminal capabilities
+ almost without change, Raymond made improvements to the
+ way the command-line parameters were handled.
