- To get the terminfo emulation of the termcap routines, make sure you
- link with `-lcurses', not `-ltermcap'.
-
- Then, `cd /usr/lib/terminfo; cat *.ti > terminfo.src; tic terminfo.src'
- to build the entire terminfo database. As shipped, most of the entries
- have not been compiled. (Note that this will take a few minutes.)
