N00b. I'm the *author* of (I think) six terminfo/termcap entries, at
least two of which still ship with ncurses. :-D
(My DEC VT220, VT320 & VT420 entries were more complete, less buggy, and
faster than the official DEC versions, because apparently no-one on the
ULTRIX team ever bothered to read the !@#$%^&* reference manual for those
terminals. The official versions remain in place, however, because they
were, well, official.)
OTOH, I never had to do printcaps.
