- SVr4 (1989) implemented these functions under the names <STRONG>inswch</STRONG>,
- <STRONG>winswch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvinswch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwinswch</STRONG>.
+ X/Open Curses Issue 4 (1995) initially specified these functions. The
+ System V Interface Definition Version 4 of the same year specified a
+ function named <EM>winswch</EM> (and the usual variants). This was a later
+ addition to SVr4.<EM>x</EM>, not appearing in the first SVr4 (1989). It
+ differed from X/Open's later <EM>wins</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>wch</EM> in that it took an argument of
+ type <EM>chtype</EM> instead of <EM>cchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM>.
