I am aware of Warner's termcap file, and I had talked with him earlier this year about committing something along those lines. I forget if I was going to commit his exact termcap file, or some auto-generated alternative, but I do have the emails around here somewhere. I know that *at the time* I knew what I had planned to do, and that Warner had nodded in general agreement to whatever that was... Right now I am busy finishing off some changes to `env', which will fix some problems introduced by a different change that I made earlier this year. Once I have those changes sorted out, I'll go back and look at my emails on this termcap idea.
