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 won't 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).
