+       These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
 
 
+       Very  old systems (before standardization) provide a different function
+       with the same name:
 
 
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <STRONG>winch</STRONG> function was part of the  original  BSD  curses  library,
+           which   stored   a  7-bit  character  combined  with  the  <EM>standout</EM>
+           attribute.
 
 
+           In BSD curses, <STRONG>winch</STRONG> returned only the character  (as  an  integer)
+           with the <EM>standout</EM> attribute removed.
 
 
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   System  V  curses  added support for several video attributes which
+           could be combined with characters in the window.
 
 
+           Reflecting this improvement, the function was altered to return the
+           character combined with all video attributes in a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> value.
 
 
+       X/Open Curses does not specify the size and layout of attributes, color
+       and character values in <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>; it is  implementation-dependent.   This
+       implementation  uses 8 bits for character values.  An application using
+       more bits,  e.g.,  a  Unicode  value,  should  use  the  wide-character
+       equivalents to these functions.
