Why?
(That is to say: why -- if it is a *real* termcap?  If it is only
a translation layer to terminfo, i am with you.  But otherwise
not, i think a real termcap is much, much smaller, while offering
anything a (simple) console program needs.)
That is not to talk small the efforts of Mr. Dickey.  But for
example the mailer i maintain *can* directly use BSD termcap if so
desired, and it works just nice.
