[net.unix-wizards] faketerm, take 2

RSanders@USGS2-MULTICS.ARPA (03/04/85)

I'm surprised the flames haven't reached me yet, but maybe all of you
are both good shell script fixers and above petty flames :-).

Anyway, this version of faketerm should work much better:

#! /bin/sh
term=$1
shift
TERM=$term TERMCAP=/etc/termcap $*

For a little extra refinement, try "$@" in place of $* (i.e.,

	TERM=$term TERMCAP=/etc/termcap "$@"
).  That will cause all arguments to be enclosed in quotes, so that arguments
containing spaces, etc. won't be split into multiple tokens.
