We are planning to revise our current Nutshell Handbook on
termcap to cover terminfo as well, and we'd like to include
as an appendix source for a termcap to terminfo converter.

Some systems have the "official" program to do this, which
is called cap2info, but many others do not.  We were
wondering if a public domain equivalent has appeared on the
net, or if we will need to write one ourselves.

Any other useful programs (as well as hints for termcap
users switching to terminfo) would also be appreciated.
Thanks very much.
