I trust that no one will be misled by Doug Gwyn's contribution.  The 4.1BSD
termcap(5) documentation is utterly up-to-date for those of us running 4.1BSD
(and for folks interested in writing programs that will port to 4.1BSD systems);
attempts to use 4.3BSD documentation on 4.1BSD systems would be catastrophic.
