The termcap(3) posted as part of V1.4a does not contain
any of the big fixes already included in the V1.3 library.

The problems are:
	- ^x escapes generate the wrong value (ie. ^H -> ^G)
	- If TERM != name and TERMCAP is defined, then
	   /etc/termcap should be searched.
	- tgoto() does not have col/line in the correct order
	  for both types of output (should have 'r' option)
	- If a long definition precedes a short one, the
	  program gets the short one wrong.
	- Spaces must be watched more closely now.

Will the author (or the poster) please go back to the working
V1.3 copy, and THEN apply any subsequent patches - including,
of course, the good part of the new termcap(3), which checks
all names in a definition.
