- Sorry, if you have to provide your own termcap you're back where you started:
- otherwise you can simply ship a copy of 386BSD-under-VMS and say "it's part
- of the application". The whole point to things like Termcap (and /usr/include
- and other standard data files and facilities not part of POSIX.1) is that
- they're there and they're standard and you DON'T have to reinvent them.

- (You forgot that TRN needs a working bourne shell for Pnews and Rnmail, and
- Pnews and Rnmail need a sendmail/rmail compatible mail program... better
- add smail and one of the sh clones to this trn package, then you need to
- add all the stuff that *they* need. By itself 1003.1 is pointless.)
