Due to the way gbII works with the status bar, you must
have either a 'cs' (cursor scroll), al & dl (add line, delete line)
or AL & DL (add line, delete line) options with your termcap
entry.

The gb.1.4.3.tar.Z file on scam does not have all the bells
and whistles of the current client, but it works for most
term types. gbII (as of 2.0+) really requires a smart terminal type.

Hope this answers any questions you have.
