For the record (no, I'm not going to also post to net.records), the
TERMCAP variable is interpreted as:

1) If it leads with a / as in TERMCAP=/etc/termcap, it points to a file.

2) Otherwise, it points to the attributes themselves, as in
   TERMCAP=dumb|li#80

On most systems, no TERMCAP environment var means default to /etc/termcap
in the programs.
