	Greetings. I recently upgraded from a 3B2/300 to a 486/33
	running SCO UNIX. I want to us my 5 TVI955 terminals with
	and SCO application but am having problems.

	I checked out a LOT of termcaps but they only go up to a
	TVI 950... I even applied the modificiations to the 950
	termcap that our software people suggested without help.

	I'm looking for a REAL TVI955 termcap entry, if one exists.
	If not, then maybe someone knows how to fix my problems:

	1) The status line gets deleted (or overwritten)  when my
	application starts up.
	2) The bold/normal majorly screws up. Setting the "950
	compability" mode on the 955 does not help. Neither does
	setting the "control code does not use space" to true.
	This one problem completely screws up my main menu as
	well as the "sysadmsh" shell from SCO UNIX.

	Please help. I've been struggling with this mess for
	almost 2 months and I've given up. If I can't resolve
	this, I'll be forced to trash these terminals and get
	new ones (vt100 clones)

	Take care.
	
	P.S. If possible, please reply to fmgst@unix.cis.pitt.edu
