BUGS

-       If you call tgetstr to fetch ca or any other parameterized  string,  be
-       aware  that it will be returned in terminfo notation, not the older and
-       not-quite-compatible termcap notation.  This will not cause problems if
-       all  you do with it is call tgoto or tparm, which both expand terminfo-
-       style strings as terminfo.   (The  tgoto  function,  if  configured  to
-       support  termcap,  will check if the string is indeed terminfo-style by
-       looking for "%p" parameters or "$<..>" delays, and  invoke  a  termcap-
-       style parser if the string does not appear to be terminfo).
-
-       Because   terminfo  conventions  for  representing  padding  in  string
-       capabilities differ from termcap's, users can be surprised:
-
-       o   tputs("50") in a terminfo system will put out a literal "50" rather
-           than busy-waiting for 50 milliseconds.
-
-       o   However,  if  ncurses is configured to support termcap, it may also
-           have been configured to support the BSD-style padding.
-
-           In that case, tputs inspects strings  passed  to  it,  looking  for
-           digits at the beginning of the string.
-
-           tputs("50") in a termcap system may wait for 50 milliseconds rather
-           than put out a literal "50"
-
-       Note that termcap has nothing analogous to terminfo's sgr string.   One
-       consequence  of  this  is that termcap applications assume me (terminfo
-       sgr0) does not reset the alternate character set.  This  implementation
-       checks  for,  and  modifies  the data shown to the termcap interface to
-       accommodate termcap's limitation in this respect.
