+
+ROADMAP AND PACKAGE OVERVIEW:
+
+You should be reading this file in a directory called:  ncurses-d.d, where d.d
+is the current version number (see the dist.mk file in this directory for
+that).  There should be a number of subdirectories, including `c++', `form',
+`man', `menu', `misc', `ncurses', `panel', `progs', `test', 'tack' and `Ada95'. 
+(The 'tack' program may be distributed separately).
+
+A full build/install of this package typically installs several libraries, a
+handful of utilities, and a database hierarchy.  Here is an inventory of the
+pieces:
+
+The libraries are:
+
+	libncurses.a       (normal)
+	libncurses.so      (shared)
+	libncurses_g.a     (debug and trace code enabled)
+	libncurses_p.a     (profiling enabled)
+
+	libpanel.a         (normal)
+	libpanel.so        (shared)
+	libpanel_g.a       (debug and trace code enabled)
+
+	libmenu.a          (normal)
+	libmenu.so         (shared)
+	libmenu_g.a        (debug enabled)
+
+	libform.a          (normal)
+	libform.so         (shared)
+	libform_g.a        (debug enabled)
+
+If you configure using the --enable-widec option, a "w" is appended to the
+library names (e.g., libncursesw.a), and the resulting libraries support
+wide-characters, e.g., via a UTF-8 locale.  The corresponding header files
+are compatible with the non-wide-character configuration; wide-character
+features are provided by ifdef's in the header files.  The wide-character
+library interfaces are not binary-compatible with the non-wide-character
+version.
+
+The ncurses libraries implement the curses API.  The panel, menu and forms
+libraries implement clones of the SVr4 panel, menu and forms APIs.  The source
+code for these lives in the `ncurses', `panel', `menu', and `form' directories
+respectively.
+
+In the `c++' directory, you'll find code that defines an interface to the
+curses, forms, menus and panels library packaged as C++ classes, and a demo program in C++
+to test it.  These class definition modules are not installed by the 'make
+install.libs' rule as libncurses++.
+
+In the `Ada95' directory, you'll find code and documentation for an
+Ada95 binding of the curses API, to be used with the GNAT compiler.
+This binding is built by a normal top-level `make' if configure detects
+an usable version of GNAT (3.11 or above). It is not installed automatically.
+See the Ada95 directory for more build and installation instructions and
+for documentation of the binding.
+
+To do its job, the ncurses code needs your terminal type to be set in the
+environment variable TERM (normally set by your OS; under UNIX, getty(1)
+typically does this, but you can override it in your .profile); and, it needs a
+database of terminal descriptions in which to look up your terminal type's
+capabilities.
+
+In older (V7/BSD) versions of curses, the database was a flat text file,
+/etc/termcap; in newer (USG/USL) versions, the database is a hierarchy of
+fast-loading binary description blocks under /usr/lib/terminfo.  These binary
+blocks are compiled from an improved editable text representation called
+`terminfo' format (documented in man/terminfo.5).  The ncurses library can use
+either /etc/termcap or the compiled binary terminfo blocks, but prefers the
+second form.
+
+In the `misc' directory, there is a text file terminfo.src, in editable
+terminfo format, which can be used to generate the terminfo binaries (that's
+what make install.data does).  If the package was built with the
+--enable-termcap option enabled, and the ncurses library cannot find a terminfo
+description for your terminal, it will fall back to the termcap file supplied
+with your system (which the ncurses package installation leaves strictly
+alone).
+
+The utilities are as follows:
+
+	tic             -- terminfo source to binary compiler
+	infocmp         -- terminfo binary to source decompiler/comparator
+	clear           -- emits clear-screen for current terminal
+	tput            -- shell-script access to terminal capabilities.
+	toe		-- table of entries utility
+	tset            -- terminal-initialization utility
+
+The first two (tic and infocmp) are used for manipulating terminfo
+descriptions; the next two (clear and tput) are for use in shell scripts.  The
+last (tset) is provided for 4.4BSD compatibility.  The source code for all of
+these lives in the `progs' directory.
+
+Detailed documentation for all libraries and utilities can be found in the
+`man' and `doc' directories.  An HTML introduction to ncurses, panels, and
+menus programming lives in the `doc/html' directory.  Manpages in HTML format
+are under `doc/html/man'.
+
+The `test' directory contains programs that can be used to verify or
+demonstrate the functions of the ncurses libraries.  See test/README for
+descriptions of these programs.  Notably, the `ncurses' utility is designed to
+help you systematically exercise the library functions.
