I'm sorry for not making it clearer. In this system, /dev/<letter> is
the way of specifying a disk drive. For example, termcap (should) take
any value for the environment variable TERMCAP beginning with a slash
as a pathname, and any other value as an actual termcap entry. If you
keep your termcap database in e:\etc, try

	setenv TERMCAP /dev/E/etc/termcap

I hope that this makes it clearer to everyone.


David
