<STRONG>infotocap</STRONG> looks in each given text <EM>file</EM> for <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>
descriptions. For each terminfo description found, an
equivalent <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> description is written to standard out-
put. Terminfo <STRONG>use</STRONG> capabilities are translated directly to
termcap <STRONG>tc</STRONG> capabilities.
<STRONG>-v</STRONG> print out tracing information on standard error as
the program runs.
<STRONG>-V</STRONG> print out the version of the program in use on stan-
dard error and exit.
<STRONG>-1</STRONG> cause the fields to print out one to a line. Other-
wise, the fields will be printed several to a line to
a maximum width of 60 characters.
<STRONG>-w</STRONG> change the output to <EM>width</EM> characters.
