#N:uiucdcs:39300002:000:151 uiucdcs!kadie Apr 4 17:28:00 1984 How can I set up my own termcap for my terminal without using the system termcap. ( I would like to experiment before it goes to the system database)

#R:uiucdcs:39300002:uiuccsb:19300009:000:543 uiuccsb!grunwald Apr 5 08:54:00 1984 You can set the shell variable "TERMCAP" to the string you want to use. Programs using the TERMCAP routines check this variable before accessing /etc/termcap. For a specific terminal type, you can retrieve your termcap information by doing "tset -S". This will print your termcap entry to stdout. Thus, in the CSH, to set your TERMCAP variable (and thus cut down on a file access every time you do a "more" or "vi"), do the following: setenv TERMCAP "`tset -SQ`" See TERMCAP in section (5) of the UNIX programmers manual for more info.

That lets you use several test versions which you can select with "TERM=xxx".

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.
