OK, I understand it now; but I still think there is a bug, at least a documentation one: it would be *very* useful to have a README.Debian in libncursesw5-dev telling this. Without those 2 lines, any program linked with libncursesw5 works exactly the same as it does with libncurses5, without any wide-char "support" at all. -- Juan Cespedes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
