Bill,
	The version you looked at was one sent to me to solve some
system V UNIX problems.  He had worked off an older copy of tcap.c.  I
had fixed the tgetstr problem already in the distribution sources, and
only merged in the changes from this new tcap.c... so all should be
fixed for the release.

	I am still aghast at the variety of different timing functions
and delay functions for V5 (Xenix, Sun, Microport.. etc) and it looks
like we will end up with yet another group of machine dependant defined
to cover these.

	The 3.10 release is still scheduled for this sunday (Christmas.....).
