PORTABILITY

        These functions are described in the XSI Curses  standard,

+       The  Single  Unix  Specification,  Version  2  states that
+       insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  This  is  probably
+       an error, since it makes this group of functions inconsis-
+       tent.  Also, no implementation of  curses  documents  this
+       inconsistency.
