Summary: Under 4.3, GNU doesn't termcap or display-time


Has anyone else out there tried GNU Emacs with 4.3BSD and the termcap file
which came with 4.3?  Basically, they don't seem to work together.  I just
rebuilt GNU 17.64 from source under 4.3.  Having discovered that 4.3 now
supports the enhanced termcap entries of GNU (like IC) plus more, I tried
the termcap entries out for a Tektronix 4105 terminal in its 30 line mode
and in its 24-line mode (in the latter mode, it is essentially a VT-100).
As a 4105, I don't get reverse video in the mode line.  As a VT-100,
GNU puts the mode line at the last screen line rather than the next-to-last
one.  Anyone have any ideas?  At this point, I'm tempted to remove the
GNU-supplied termcap.c file and replace it with "-ltermcap" in the link.
Anyone else tried this?
    A second 4.3 problem is that the time and load display doesn't seem
to display the load.
