Termcap use...

Hmm...

What is the neat way to handle a termcap lookup??

the man page says to reserve a buffer of 1024 places and use tgetent, ok, perhaps a const in termcap would be nicer? (MAXTERMCAPENTRY or something?)...

and then... some programs seem to put it in an array with tgetstr... any clue how big that buffer should be? 2048 since any code can result in 2 char string? Anything else???
