Here
is a summary, accurate as of October 1995:

These support all SVr4 capabilities.
.PP

capability (\fBset_pglen\fR).
.PP
-\fBSVr1, Ultrix\fR --

These support a restricted subset of terminfo capabilities.
The booleans

strings with \fBprtr_non\fR.
.PP
-\fBHP/UX\fR --

\fBlabel_height\fR, \fBlabel_width\fR, plus function keys 11 through 63, plus
\fBplab_norm\fR, \fBlabel_on\fR, and \fBlabel_off\fR, plus some incompatible
extensions in the string table.
.PP
-\fBAIX\fR --
