		Termcap README

I've written some termcap entries for the VT family of terminals
from scratch. These entries are correct and solve the long-
standing "my arrow keys don't work!" etc. problems.

There are two termcap files in this subdirectory, termcap.short
and termcap.long. You should only use termcap.long if your
library version is < 4.6.27 (it probably is). Newer libraries
have my new termcap code and won't break on the tc= entries
in termcap.short.

If you don't use exotic termcap entries you might just want to
copy the new termcap file over /etc/termcap (make a backup copy
first!). Otherwise you'll have to edit, cut and paste.

It is possible that I will bring out the new termcap descriptions
separately. You might want to check on sunsite.unc.edu or
tsx-11.mit.edu if there is a newer version of this termcap file.

Oh, if you use minicom with the 'mc' termcap entry and the graphics
don't come out right, read the comment just above the 'ansi-mc'
entry in the termcap file (and edit accordingly).
