Oops.  Sorry about that.  The "Elvis.prj" file for Turbo-C, and the "Elvis.lnk"
file for MSC 5.1, are both a little out of date.  They both refer to a complete
termcap library, but they're supposed to refer to "tinytcap.c".  Tinytcap
emulates termcap, but only for TERM=ansi and TERM=nansi.  (I've been told
that TERM=nansi also works with FANSI.SYS and NNANSI.SYS as well.)

Also, it should be compiled in the medium or large memory model.
