     FORM *newform(FIELD **fields);

     int freeform(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION
     newform creates a new  form  connected  to  the  designated

     freeform disconnects the form  from  its  associated  field
     pointer array and deallocates the space for the form.

     one of the following:
     E_OK           - The function returned successfully.
     E_BAD_ARGUMENT - An argument is incorrect.
     E_POSTED       - The form is posted.

     files <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
