Subject: Continuing Saga of the ADM3a/Kaypro Termcap

Dave Towson, et. al., thanks.  I am the originator of the ADM3a/Kaypro
termcap (or the one who POSTED it, anyway) that's been causing all of
the hoop-lah.

Perhaps the differences that were of consurn have something to do with
the fact that I provided an EMACS termcap entry, and this was being
compared and contrasted to a UNIX termcap.  I can state that I have used
this termcap on a Kaypro II with my own hands for hours on our VAX under
VAX/VMS running a Gosling EMACS.  As for the rest of the world, gee -
I dunno.  I hope it was of help, anyway.  And if you need the EMACS
termcap gobbledegook deciphered for you out there in netland, I will be
happy to provide the EMACS interpretation for you to the best of my
ability.  As to UNIX - go find a UNIX person, I'm a VAX/micro hacker.
Or a micro VAX-hacker.  Or perhaps - uh, never mind.  Best I not use
VAX, UNIX, and hacker in sentences lest I let myself in for a flame.

As to "tirades" and all of that, I am not upset - yet another flame in
netland, as I see it - and probably quite useful if you are trying to
get up on a UNIX system at that.
