When UW came over the net (in source form earlier this year) I messed with it
and had problems getting a termcap which would work with VI. I finally did
some low level experimentation and determined that UW had a small bug in it.

Whenever UW receives a LF, it moves the cursor down AND TO THE LEFT COLUMN.
This isn't UW's fault, really, it is just passing the LF through to Amigados,
which is interpreting it as a newline.

I have a patch for it, but not handy. Some time in the next couple of days I'll
try to reproduce what I did and put it on the net, including a new binary with
my fix.

Once this change is made, UW works fine with a standard VT100 termcap, if you
adjust the width and height values correctly.

        I don't think BBN cares what I think about this stuff.
        And that's probably just as well.
