In moving applications which use any of the above libraries or APIs from
PA to IPF, you will need to modify the source code to use an alternative
interface, or continue to run the application as a PA program.
libHcurses and Related APIs
The previously deprecated libHcurses library, along with
captoinfo_colr, infocmp_colr, terminfo_colr, tic_colr,
tput_colr, and libcur_colr, is not available on HP-UX 11i Version1.5.
Color capabilities are include in the terminfo database and libxcurses.
Some applications may need to be ported as there are minor differences
between libHcurses and libxcurses.
