+       Formerly, <EM>ncurses</EM> used  <STRONG>nl</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>nonl</STRONG>  to  control  the  conversion  of
+       newlines  to  carriage  return/line  feed  on  output as well as input.
+       X/Open Curses documents the use of  these  functions  only  for  input.
+       This  difference arose from converting the <EM>pcurses</EM> source (1986), which
+       used <STRONG>ioctl(2)</STRONG> calls and the <EM>sgttyb</EM> structure,  to  <EM>termios</EM>  (the  POSIX
+       terminal  API).   In  the former, both input and output were controlled
+       via a single option <STRONG>CRMOD</STRONG>, while the latter separates  these  features.
+       Because  that  conversion  interferes with output optimization, <EM>ncurses</EM>
+       6.2 (2020) amended <STRONG>nl</STRONG> and <STRONG>nonl</STRONG> to eliminate their effect on output.
