>Description:

        The pcvt termcap entry in /usr/src/share/termcap/termcap.{src,db}
	is not up-to-date.  Most noticeably, the SF, SR, sf, and sr codes
	are incorrect for pcvt 3.32, which is in -current.

	The README for pcvt has the correct termcap entries, with a note
	that they need to be added to the system termcap database,
	but apparently this has not been done in the NetBSD-current
	distribution at ftp.netbsd.org.

>How-To-Repeat:

        On a virtual console with term=pcvt25, use /usr/bin/vi (vim
	doesn't use the faulty SF/SR entries.  I don't know how, but
	somehow it's smarter than vi) to edit a file with more than 25
	lines, and try using ^E and ^Y.  These commands use the SR and SF
	capabilities, and hence don't function as expected -- the display
	doesn't scroll at all.

>Fix:

	I asked the termcap maintainer (Eric S. Raymond) to add the pcvt*
	entries into the latest termcap (9.11.5), which is now available
	as http://www.ccil.org/~esr/terminfo/termtypes.tc.gz
	(or via ftp as www.ccil.org:/pub/esr/terminfo/termtypes.tc.gz), so
	the fix is:

        Get a new termcap (version 9.11.5) from the termcap maintainer, put
	it in /usr/src/share/termcap/termcap.src, recreate termcap.db, and
	run 'make' to install them into /usr/share/misc. 

	Note:  
	Eric Raymond did not add the pcvt*h entries:
	  >Note, however, that I am not carrying the pseudo-HP entries;
	  >ncurses doesn't know about and cannot use that Xs flag.

	This is over my head.  However, it means that the /etc/ttys line
	that specifies 'type pcvt25h' for the ttyv? lines needs to be
	changed to pcvt25.  Hopefully, that's the extent of everything!
