Taking this to its logical absurdity, we get: "Let's just require that

I don't see the necessity of this. Take b

No, I think it's a valid question to bring up---I was just confused about
Please keep in mind:
ncurses 1.9.7a searches the terminfo entries in
- $HOME/.terminfo or, if set in $TERMINFO
and then in
- /etc/terminfo (this is the debian-special for /usr/lib/terminfo)
The first could provide a scheme for startup (/usr not mounted) without
hacking the sources
For the list of terminals, I would appreciate vt200 (i.e., vt220) in
the list too. I work at a place where vt220s are all over the place,
and using a real termcap for a vt220 is much better than using the
vt100 termcap.

I meant turn off the "fallback to termcap" code. Please enable the fallback
to compiled-in-terminfo .
Thanks
