        While  <STRONG>scanw</STRONG>  was implemented in 4BSD, none of the BSD releases used it
        until 4.4BSD (in a game).  That early version of curses was before  the

-       ANSI  C  standard.   It did not use &lt;varargs.h&gt;, though that was avail-
-       able.  In 1991 (a couple of years after SVr4 was  generally  available,
-       and  after  the C standard was published), other developers updated the
-       library, using &lt;stdarg.h&gt; internally in 4.4BSD curses.  Even with  this
-       improvement,  BSD  curses  did  not  use  function  prototypes (or even
-       declare functions) in the &lt;curses.h&gt; header until 1992.
