- Or that the binary is compiled with an old version of the termcap
- routines that don't understand the tc-directive, which works somewhat
- like #include in C. If the latter is the case, replace tc=foo in the
- description for your terminal type with the contents of the description
- for terminal type foo, or recompile the program (preferred).
