 .SH PORTABILITY
-It is not wise to count on portability of binary terminfo entries between
-commercial UNIX versions.
-The problem is that there are at least two versions
-of terminfo (under HP\-UX and AIX) which diverged from System V terminfo after
-SVr1, and have added extension capabilities to the string table that (in the
-binary format) collide with System V and XSI Curses extensions.
+Do not count on compiled (binary) \fI\%terminfo\fP entries being

+At least two implementations of \fI\%terminfo\fP
+(those of HP\-UX and AIX)
+diverged from those of other System V Unices after SVr1,
+adding extension capabilities to the string table that
+(in the binary format)
