      "GNU Ncurses is a library which provides capabilities to write text to
a terminal in a terminal-independent manner.  It supports pads and color as
well as multiple highlights and forms characters.  It is typically used to
implement user interfaces for command-line applications.  The accompanying
ncursesw library provides wide character support.")
