>Originator:     Anders Nordby
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Department of Computer Engineering, Sr-Trndelag College, Norway.
>Environment:

Logged onto a host running FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE with the terminal
emulator 'CRT' in Windows 95. I have tested lots of terminal emulators
with this, so the problem shouldn't be there.

>Description:

Crippled output in several applications, ncftp being one of them. I assume
the fairly oldish termcap database in FreeBSD would be well off with an
update.

>How-To-Repeat:

Compile ncftp-2.4.3 from the ports collection, run it with VT100 
emulation.

>Fix:
	
Incorporate the database found at http://tuxedo.org/~esr/terminfo/? It's
the master database of terminal descriptions from BSD UNIX, and _should_
fix it (?). :)
