   Screen sets the TERMCAP environment variable for old termcap programs.   
   Elvis is one such program.  Slackware relies on the TERMCAP   
   variable, which is present in a local terminal, but not over   
   SSH to another Slackware system.  At that point, vi fails because   
   TERMCAP is empty.  TERM is set to "screen" but has no matching entry   
   in /etc/termcap nor in terminfo.  This is Slackware's fault, because   
   GNU screen instructs packagers to update their termcap and terminfo.   
      
   Below is a fix for doinst.sh:   
      
   # Copy this update into place, and install it from doinst.sh   
   mkdir -p $PKG/etc/termcap.d   
   cp terminfo/screencap $PKG/etc/termcap.d/   
   cp terminfo/screeninfo.src $PKG/usr/share/screen/   
      
   # install screen termcap and terminfo entries   
   cat /etc/termcap-Linux /etc/termcap.d/* >/etc/termcap   
   tic /usr/share/screen/screeninfo.src >/dev/null 2>&1
