A system created by a fresh install from a 4.0-RC does not contain a manpage called curses(3), the patches in docs/17061 simply acknowledges and documents this fact. They do not remove an existing curses manpage nor do they prevent the generation of this manpage. If your system contains a file named /usr/share/man/man3/curses.3.gz, it's an old copy. /usr/src/libcurses was zapped by 'peter' on 26-NOV-1999. And curses.3 died on that day. On the other hand, a MLINK for the manpage is certainly a good idea. Most people will look for curses, not ncurses. /s/Udo -- "Finish the following setence: All power corrupts, absolute power..."
