newt's using ''only'' gpm, without a way to use it in a ''terminal emulator'' (gpm's limitations have been commented on frequently -- see for example [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/294854/can-gpm-be-used-in-a-teminal-emulator/294855#294855 this]) [[User:Tedickey|TEDickey]] ([[User talk:Tedickey|talk]]) 19:34, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 
== How does it differ/compare to ncurses? ==
 
This isn't answered in the article. --[[Special:Contributions/109.192.198.207|109.192.198.207]] ([[User talk:109.192.198.207|talk]]) 11:18, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 
:It probably won't be (if [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] are used), due to the absence of documentation for newt [[User:Tedickey|TEDickey]] ([[User talk:Tedickey|talk]]) 12:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 
== What does "Operating system: Linux, Cross-platform (Live CD)" mean? ==
 
This blames to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Newt_%28programming_library%29&diff=prev&oldid=262134380 but I don't think it makes any sense at all. Does it run under Linux ''but also'' (NetBSD booted from a CD)? What's the CD thing mean at all? Is it parroting upstream's marketing? The edit doesn't have any refs and neither does the current text. [[User:Nabijaczleweli|Nabijaczleweli]] ([[User talk:Nabijaczleweli|talk]]) 23:09, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
