I'm using b18 with latest coolview (01-Aug) under NT4SP3...
I got some strange problems with termcap...
I've exported TERM=linux
If  I export also TERMCAP=/etc/termcap (containing the linux entry), less
(3.32) behave strangely, it starts paging from the top of the sreen,
overwriting previous information...
Maybe that's because I use bash inside an NT Command Prompt with scroll-bar
(I set a buffer size of 1000 lines in the shortcut properties).
BUT, if I set TERMCAP=/etc/termcap/linux, less behaves _normally_, but with
a 'Warning: terminal not fully functional'

I'm using termcap 1.3 (compiled with -D_STRICT_ANSI to avoid error regarding
bcopy and stuff...)

Has anyone similar experience ?
Any ideas ?
