Description

Older terminal applications can run against the ncurses ABI 5 compatibility libraries. It helps legacy binaries that still expect the older curses interface display text interfaces without being rebuilt.

This is a compatibility runtime, not a program to open. Use it when an older application requires this ABI; new software should normally link against current ncurses libraries.
