I'm playing around with Eterm, and have created an eterm terminal description that I put in ~/.termcap. This seems to work just fine for everything (jove, vi, etc) except top, which says "top: can't open termcap file". I thought I'd use truss to find out more precisely what was going on, but it gives me no output at all. "truss -o truss.top top" runs top just fine, but truss.top is empty. "truss -o truss.ls ls" works like it should.
