With Mark E's termcap-1.00 (tcap093.zip) I got the message

	"Can't read /etc/termcap".

This message is issued in response to a return code of -1
from tgetent in termcap.c.  The problem seems to be this:

#ifdef __DJGPP__
#define DEFAULT_TERMCAP "/dev/env/DJDIR/share/termcap"
#else
#define DEFAULT_TERMCAP "/etc/termcap"
#endif

Thus, with __DJGPP__ defined, the Unix default of /etc/termcap
is disallowed.  A workaround is to set TERMCAP=/etc/termcap,
but if I don't need that under Unix, I don't want to need it
under djgpp.  How do others feel about this?
