Summary: "untic" available.

System V as delivered has a large compiled data-base of terminfo
descriptors, and a very small set of sources.  This is a problem
if one is trying to modify a descriptor for which one does not
have source.  A TermInfo Compiler ('tic') was also deliverd with
the system.  It was fairly straightforward to write a decompiler
for the terminfo descriptors.  I called it 'untic' (I refuse to
call it 'cit', and anyway C. Itoh might object. ;-)), and intend
to post it to net.sources as soon as I can get it across our
high-bandwidth magnetic tape from the System V machine.
