This bug applies to Microport System5/AT release 1.38 and above only.
Specifically, it does not affect those with the general 1.36 release.
(That release has it's own set of well known problems :-)

Urgency: Immediate Next Release Advisory
*********
OS Version: MicroPort SV/AT 1.38B3
Program Name: /usr/lib/terminfo/a/ansi
Version: 1.38B3 upgrade with new console handlers
Repeat by: * extract the test program provided at the end
of this report, and place it into a file called
'test.c'.
% cc -o test test.c -lcurses
% setenv TERM ansi ;# this should be the default...
% test
* Should draw 2 boxes on the screen, instead,
the right hand sides of the boxes are messed up
* Also, the function key mappings for terminfo/a/ansi
are wrong. As given, f1 through f10 all are
specified as being \EOc but they should really
be \EOc \EOd ... \EOl.
Fix by: % untic ansi > ansi.src
* untic is a public domain program - avaliable
from Microport, or I can mail the source to you...
* in ansi.src, change the line
rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%{1}%-%db,
to
rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%db,
Also, fix the definitions for kf2 thru kf10
to be kf0=\EOc, kf1=\EOd, kf2=\EOe...
% tic ansi.src
% test
* The boxes should now be correct
* Programs which use the function keys
(KEY_F(0)...) will now work as well.
