[chomp - crack .....  my kingdom for a dentist]

ever since first encountering "termcaps", and every time I have to deal with
one again, I've done  "wishful thinking"  for a program, which accepts a
termcap as input, and gives you an annotated listing of what the attributes
described in the termcap are "in English".  A little interactive program
allowing you to set / modify  parameters from a menu-driven interface also
seemed reasonable to long for.  Alas, I never followed up and asked around
or went off into my corner to write some code ...  anyone care to make my
day ???  (and, undoubtedly, of many, many  millions and billions .... )

[is that the sun rising over the garden fence ???? just another day of blue
  sky and temperatures in the 70s - sigh, and I'll sleep right through it .. ]
