PORTABILITY

-       The  XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.  The func-
-       tion vwprintw is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to  be  replaced  by  a
-       function  vw_printw  using  the  <stdarg.h> interface.  The Single Unix
-       Specification, Version 2 states that vw_printw   is  preferred  to  vw-
-       printw since the latter requires including <varargs.h>, which cannot be
-       used  in  the  same  file  as  <stdarg.h>.   This  implementation  uses
-       <stdarg.h> for both, because that header is included in <curses.h>.
+       In  this implementation, vw_printw and vwprintw are equivalent, to sup-
+       port legacy applications.  However, the latter (vwprintw) is obsolete:
