>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Japan FreeBSD Users' Group
>Environment:

	4.0-CURRENT (which does not have *real* libtermcap)

>Description:

	Recently, libtermcap is disappeared and it is just a symlink
	to libncurses. However, libncurses is NOT EXACTLY the same behavior
	of libtermcap; it seems that libncurses does not understand some
	directives which are shown as 'screen' and 'kterm' entry in termcap.

>How-To-Repeat:

	% echo $TERM
	screen
	% vi > /dev/null
	"TERMCAP", line 0, col 273, terminal 'screen': unknown capability 'xv'
	"TERMCAP", line 0, col 276, terminal 'screen': unknown capability 'LP'
	"TERMCAP", line 0, col 572, terminal 'screen': unknown capability 'AX'
	"TERMCAP", line 0, col 575, terminal 'screen': unknown capability 'G0'
	ex/vi: Vi's standard input and output must be a terminal
	%

	% echo $TERM
	kterm
	% vi > /dev/null
	"TERMCAP", line 0, col 99, terminal 'kterm': unknown capability 'KJ'
	"TERMCAP", line 0, col 137, terminal 'kterm': unknown capability 'TY'
	ex/vi: Vi's standard input and output must be a terminal
	%

>Fix:
	
	Skip these directives (or implement these directives) by ncurses,
	or remove these directives from termcap.
