Termcap is severely deprecated.  so much, in fact, that most
systems don't recognize it anymore.  

In my case, I have solved the problem using 'tic' to compile
termcap entries for all Atari/MiNT terminals, on any host where I
have access.

The usual syntax is:

tic termcap.src

where termcap.src is a file containing the terminal definitions
to be added.  On systems where you have root access, the entries
will be added to /usr/share/termcap hierarchy, while on others
there will be a new .termcap folder in your home directory.
