 Teliva is not tested much at all yet. This is my first time programming either
 in Lua or within Lua. Bug reports most appreciated.
 
+## Will it run any Ncurses program?
+
+Probably not. Ncurses is extremely portable. I don't test on all the
+configurations Ncurses supports. For example, I assume terminals with UTF-8
+support.
+
+## Will it run any Lua [lcurses](https://github.com/lcurses/lcurses) program?
+
+There are some exceptions. For example, lcurses has some strange
+&ldquo;smarts&rdquo; that result in `wgetch()` not behaving like `getch()`.
+Teliva doesn't reproduce such bugs.
+
 ## What's with the name?
 
 Teliva is the Tamil root for &lsquo;clear&rsquo;. Very much aspirational.
