My thanks to everyone who sent suggestions for solving what I thought
was an INFORMIX problem. Setting permissions on the termcap file to
allow read access to "other" (since we are executing from another file
system in the UNIX environment) solved the problem.
I've sent email to some but lost a couple of addresses. Did'nt want to
omit anyone.
