If at first you don't succeed ........
 
Appologies to those still inconvenienced by bugs, I hope this will
set things straight. The following patch affects only the termcap and terminfo
interfaces. This is an interim solution only - it will be fixed properly in
the next ftp version of the interpreter.
 
 
Note that our first patch must still be applied ...
 
Here is a "diff -c" of the old file.c and the new. Enjoy ...
 
					The ITF.
