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

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lform -lcurses [library . . .]
             #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.

       NOTICES
             The header file form.h automatically includes the header files
             eti.h and curses.h.
