This seems to be a problem with nvi. AFAIR the original BSD vi would run fine without a termcap. It would enter open-mode automatically in that case. Among the various vi clones, elvis implements open-mode, but nvi does not. Anyway, I vote for moving termcap to /etc. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
