I know this is suboptimal, but you can use telltc to figure out
what the bad entries, and settc to fix them. The editor in tcsh
will work properly with most termcap entries empty, but it will
be less efficient.

When you come up with a working version you can store it in a file
or put it in your TERMCAP environment variable.
