       new_form, free_form - create and destroy forms
       #include <form.h>
       FORM *new_form(FIELD **fields);
       int free_form(FORM *form);
       The  function  new_form  creates a new form connected to a
       specified field pointer array (which must  be  NULL-termi-
       nated).
       The  function  free_form  disconnects  form from its field
       array and frees the storage allocated for the form.
       The function new_form returns  NULL  on  error.   It  sets
       errno according to the function's success:
       E_OK The routine succeeded.
       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
            Routine  detected  an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
            ment.
       E_CONNECTED
            The field is already connected to a form.
       E_SYSTEM_ERROR

       The function free_form returns one of the following:
       E_OK The routine succeeded.
       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
            Routine detected an incorrect or  out-of-range  argu-
            ment.

       These routines emulate the System V forms  library.   They
       were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
