       I would like to have one terminfo database for all of our
UNIX machines -- some terminfo database have entries for some terminals,
other vendors ship others.  It would be nice then, if they are
the same, too...I have noticed that the way the function keys
are defined is different among xterm entries...  However,
do I have to worry about copyrights?  Has anybody already
put together such a suite?  I also wanted to make our termcap
and terminfo entries somewhat consistent...

      One thing in particular I need to resolve is that our
Data General AViiON defines el1=\E[1K for vt100.  Our other
UNIX's don't.  The thing is, when this is defined like that,
this editor Joe doesn't work.
