I suspect that the reason it is quoted in terminfo(4) is that that page is
an almost literal transcription of the Berkeley termcap(5) man page. Berkeley,
being a descendant of V7, still has tset.  I too noticed that they mentioned
it, and just sorta smiled.

This shouldn't be a hard program to write, altho it is often very little
fun to re-invent the wheel. (Of course, if you want to enter into a friendly
