The former, I dare say. > If I have a program to which I do not have the source (commercial EDA > tool) and it requires libtermcap.so.2, Ugh.

You can get termcap-compat from archive.debian.net[1], but note that the termcap library in it is linked against libc5 rather than libc6. If that is not what you need, various RPM-based distributions still ship libtermcap[2], and you can convert an rpm package into a Debian package with alien(1). Good luck, Sven 1. http://archive.debian.net/sarge/termcap-compat 2. http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libtermcap.so.2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
