Yes, but almost all of them could be reduced to errors in the users
code. And yes, there are users of menu and forms.

Not public ones.

P.S.: In the test directory you'll find the ncurses.c sample.
It does some basic forms stuff. In the Ada95/samples directory
you can find a sample application which does forms handling, but
you must be able to read Ada95 code.
