	I can't vouch for 3.1 (our IBM CE 'asked' for our evaluation model
	back before we had any fun with it), but nn 1.69 ran correctly
	under release 9022 after tweaking the source code.

	Never had a problem with the termcap, and ran extremely well under
	aixterm.  Which systerm-dependent include files are you using?
