I have received a couple of requests for termcaps for ecu. Viz:

Use the SCO ansi termcap in your /etc/termcap.  It is different from
every other 'ansi' termcap in the world, as all other 'ansi' termcaps
are unique as well.  Standards are great! EVERYBODY should have one:

Don't you find that this correction is really needed?

	:us=\E[1m:

At least on my EGA monitor, 'less' then distinguishes between underline
and bold font out of nroff, providing that the foreground color is a
low-intensity one, and that the reverse video setcolor has been set up
too.
