$ Keywords: TERMINFO, SYSV v5.1, HELP!!!
$ Path:
$ 
$ I have recently tried to compile emacs on a 3b20 using SysV.1
$ and could not link because of termcap usage in the source.
$ Is there a version or diffs for a version which uses TERMINFO???
$ OR.... is there some set of routines somewhere which can simulate 
$ the termcap routines sufficiently to run emacs?

I have MicroEmacs running under AIX 2.2 just fine. If you're not
familiar with it, AIX is based on Sys V Rel 2. I simply modified 
the makefile and removed -ltermcap and -ltermlib and used -lcurses.
The curses library in AIX has any of the termlib/termcap routines that
Microemacs calls. I don't know if this is the case with straight SysV.1,
but it is worth a try.
