-- Netris now attempts to make the cursor invisible for terminals that
-  support it.  Xterm no, vt220 yes, vt100 maybe?
-- Ctrl-L (by default) will now redraw the screen.
-- Various cleanup and documentation changes.
+Netris now specifically looks for ncurses and uses color if it's
+available, unless the -C option is given.  Thanks to A.P.J. van Loo
+<cobra@multiweb.nl> for providing code which these changes are
