apt-get install termcap-compat It is still available, and I suspect that there are still a few programs, particularly outside the managed package environment, that haven't made the switch yet. Having come from the days of termcap and all manner of different terminals (the University of Waterloo was a very substantial client of the cross-town Volker-Craig terminals - including some of the most eccentric terminals ever built, such as the VC 303, which scrolled two lines at a time), it is nostalgic to dig through the file and read the comments on each design - many *very honest* catty observations. -- Mark L.
