no.  It should be usable on the terminals that have the initc property.
I've tested it on Linux console (linux-c-nc) and with xterm compiled for
88- and 256-colors (xterm-256color).  I see that putty also supports this,
but I don't recall testing it.

While testing this, I added linux-color.dat, xterm-16color.dat and 
xterm-88color.dat file in ncurses/test.
