I have been unable to translate my termcap entry for my new tvi965
into terminfo format.  I need to do this because the version of vi
that we run uses curses with terminfo.  I use Emacs, but everybody
else uses vi.  Is there an automated way to accomplish what I want?
Tic whines incessantly about my entry.  I really want the other
users to stop using the tvi950 entry 'cause it leaves ugly magic
cookies. 

Thanks,
Roger
