System: NetBSD warthog 1.2 NetBSD 1.2 (WARTHOG) #1: Sat Sep 28 18:14:43 EDT 1996 rmk@warthog:/usr/src/sys/arch/sun3/compile/WARTHOG sun3
>Description:
/usr/share/misc/termcap is missing backspace (bs) entries
for vt100 (and other dec terminal entries) and xterm.
I have seen this bug on both port-sun3 and port-i386
>How-To-Repeat:
/usr/games/hack quits with a "no backspace support" error.
>Fix:
temporary fix: I put the termcap from 1.1 in my local dir
as .termcap
permanent fix: replace bs entries in termcap & termcap.src
