There is a problem in src/usr.bin/tput/tputs.c that makes obtaining
the li parameter fail.
There exists a switch() statement that tests for 'l' and
does a string compare for longname.
If the compare fails, then continue with the next arguement.
I chose to combine the call to prlongname() and continue into
a block and add an else clause containing a break;
case 'l':
if (!strcmp(p, "longname")) {
prlongname(tbuf);
continue;
} else
break;
Tset was also somewhat different than the SunOs tset. However, a careful
reading of the manual will result in compatible usage.
