Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.

+ + improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
+ + clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is

+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends

+ A <STRONG>reset</STRONG> command appeared in 2BSD (April 1979), written by
+ Kurt Shoens. This program set the <EM>erase</EM> and <EM>kill</EM> charac-
+ ters to <STRONG>^H</STRONG> (backspace) and <STRONG>@</STRONG> respectively. Mark Horton
+ improved that in 3BSD (October 1979), adding <EM>intr</EM>, <EM>quit</EM>,
+ <EM>start</EM>/<EM>stop</EM> and <EM>eof</EM> characters as well as changing the pro-
+ gram to avoid modifying any user settings.
+
+ Later in 4.1BSD (December 1980), Mark Horton added a call
+ to the <STRONG>tset</STRONG> program using the <STRONG>-I</STRONG> and <STRONG>-Q</STRONG> options, i.e.,
+ using that to improve the terminal modes. With those
+ options, that version of <STRONG>reset</STRONG> did not use the termcap
+ database.
A separate <STRONG>tset</STRONG> command was provided in 2BSD by Eric All-
man. While the oldest published source (from 1979) pro-
- vides both programs, Allman's comments in the 2BSD source
- code indicate that he began work in October 1977, continu-
- ing development over the next few years.

- In September 1980, Eric Allman modified <STRONG>tset</STRONG> to provide a
- "reset" feature when the program was invoked as <STRONG>reset</STRONG>.
- This version appeared in 4.1cBSD, late in 1982.
+ In September 1980, Eric Allman modified <STRONG>tset</STRONG>, adding the

+ nal. This version appeared in 4.1cBSD, late in 1982.

+The command-line utilities such as \fBtic\fP(1) provide a verbose option
+which extends the set of messages written using the \fBtrace\fP function.
+Both of these (\fB\-v\fP and \fBtrace\fP)
+use the same variable (\fB_nc_tracing\fP),
+which determines the messages which are written.
+.PP
+Because the command-line utilities may call initialization functions
+such as \fBsetupterm\fP, \fBtgetent\fP or \fBuse_extended_names\fP,
+some of their debugging output may be directed to the \fItrace\fP file

.SH HISTORY
.PP
-A \fBreset\fP command appeared in 2BSD (1979), written by Kurt Shoens.
+A \fBreset\fP command appeared in 2BSD (April 1979), written by Kurt Shoens.
+This program set the \fIerase\fP and \fIkill\fP characters
+to \fB^H\fP (backspace) and \fB@\fP respectively.
+Mark Horton improved that in 3BSD (October 1979), adding
+\fIintr\fP, \fIquit\fP, \fIstart\fP/\fIstop\fP and \fIeof\fP characters
+as well as changing the program to avoid modifying any user settings.
+.PP
+Later in 4.1BSD (December 1980),
+Mark Horton added a call to the \fBtset\fP program
+using the \fB\-I\fP and \fB\-Q\fP options, i.e.,
+using that to improve the terminal modes.
+With those options,
+that version of \fBreset\fP did not use the termcap database.
.PP
A separate \fBtset\fP command was provided in 2BSD by Eric Allman.
-While the oldest published source (from 1979) provides both programs,
+While the oldest published source (from 1979)
+provides both \fBtset\fP and \fBreset\fP,
Allman's comments in the 2BSD source code indicate
that he began work in October 1977,
continuing development over the next few years.
.PP
-In September 1980, Eric Allman modified \fBtset\fP to provide a \*(lqreset\*(rq
-feature when the program was invoked as \fBreset\fP.
+In September 1980, Eric Allman modified \fBtset\fP,
+adding the code from the existing \*(lqreset\*(rq
+feature when \fBtset\fP was invoked as \fBreset\fP.
+Rather than simply copying the existing program,
+in this merged version, \fBtset\fP used the termcap database
+to do additional (re)initialization of the terminal.
This version appeared in 4.1cBSD, late in 1982.
.PP
+Other developers (e.g., Keith Bostic and Jim Bloom)
+continued to modify \fBtset\fP until 4.4BSD was released in 1993.
+.PP
The \fBncurses\fR implementation
was lightly adapted from the 4.4BSD sources for a terminfo environment by Eric
S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>.
