Small buglet in tset/termcap

Hi,

Gordon (and Tommy too for that matter!), found a small problem with
tset/termcap stuff which causes the user-setup stuff to whine when using
CDE's dtterm. (Gordon, I hope you don't mind me quoting your mail
below...)

Any ideas what the correct fix is? Should we modify the termcap, or
post-process tset's output to quote the TERM variable...

Any suggestions welcome..

Matt




Seems OK.. I had a bit of a problem with dtterm's because /etc/termcap
and/or the tset command have a bug. I now use xterm's again exclusively,
dtterms are not worth the hassle of incompatibilities across various
machines, so I don't care if its fixed or not, but others may see it also.

FYI, the symptoms were:

  [because of the string 'CDE terminal emulator' from /etc/printcap
   being returned by tset -s as the TERM value]
