- Is there some reason why V4.xx does not use the terminfo files, but
- insists on using the termcap file? There seems to be no good reason
- for having terminfo if the system does not use it by default, or
- is there some undocumented reason for this?. Considering that terminfo
- text fiel\ files are constructed with commas and termcap use colons to divide
- fields, and the code symbols are different, what is the point of having the
- two?
- Can any one (Udo)? shed any light on this.
- Bob
