NAME
     form_post:  post_form, unpost_form - write  or  erase  forms
     from associated subwindows

SYNOPSIS
     #include <form.h>

     int post_form(FORM *form);

     int unpost_form(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION
     post_form writes form into its  associated  subwindow.   The
     application  programmer  must use curses library routines to
     display  the  form  on   the   physical   screen   or   call
     update_panels if the panels library is being used.

     unpost_form erases form from its associated subwindow.

RETURN VALUE
     These routines return one of the following:
     E_OK            - The function returned successfully.
     E_SYSTEM_ERROR  - System error.
     E_BAD_ARGUMENT  - An argument is incorrect.
     E_POSTED        - The form is posted.
     E_NOT_POSTED    - The form is not posted.
     E_NO_ROOM       - The form does not fit in the subwindow.
     E_BAD_STATE     - The routine was called from an initialization
                       or termination function.
     E_NOT_CONNECTED - The field is not connected to a form.

NOTES
     The header file <form.h> automatically includes  the  header
     files <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
