[comp.os.minix] elle & termcap

Hello!  I hope I get more response to this than to my last posting!
(Last had zero responses.)  With version 1.5.10, I can now login over
my serial port.  This is great!  But, I ran into a problem.  My copy
of the elle binary (which was posted to this group) is using an older
copy of the termcap routines which does not recognize the curser control
for the terminal I am using over the serial line.  The termcap in
1.5.10 has the smarts and other screen oriented programs (e.g. elvis)
can deal correctly with my terminal.  Elle, on the other hand, does not
do anything that looks even close to correct.  Here is my question:

  Does anyone have a copy of elle linked with the 1.5.10 termcap that
they can mail to me? (or post if there is enough interest.)  I can not
recompile elle (no surprise) and so I must find out if any one has any
way to do this.  (To get the original copy of elle binary, someone had
to be able to compile it.  Can they recompile it with a the new (1.5.10)
termcap?

Thanks Much!
