I've been working on expanding intro(3), and I was
wondering if someone would answer three quick
questions.

1.  I understand that curses was the original terminal
library.  Has FreeBSD switched over entirely to
ncurses?  Is ncurses the preferred reference (eg. - 2
paragraph of form(3X) would be '-lform -lncurses'
instead of '-lform -lcurses')?

2.  Most of the (n)curses pages are listed as being
part of 3X.  Since there's no intro(3X), should I
include them in intro(3)?  Or would a separate
intro(3X) be preferred?

Thanks!
Chris Johnson
