  26. If you look in the directory /usr/lib/terminfo/v you will find
  27. entries for the following terminal(families):
  28.    vt100, vt200_series, vt300_series, vt400_series
  29. Of these vt400_series is braindead - ie. it gives "not enough memory for
  30. screens, the others seem to work!
  31. Is this fixed in posix v1.1?
  32. Does anyone know if you can take terminfo files from other UN*X's and
  33. use under POSIX - I can't find the terminfo-compiler anywhere!
