     NAME
          chgtinfo - create a temporary version of a terminfo entry

     SYNOPSIS
          TERMINFO=`chgtinfo modifications`
          export TERMINFO

     DESCRIPTION
          One of the touted drawbacks of terminfo has been that one
          could not create a temporary modification of a terminfo
          entry.  Chgtinfo permits the user to make such
          modifications.

          The modifications are actual terminfo source statements and
          are passed on to tic for compilation.  The new terminfo
          directory tree is printed out so that it may be assigned to
          $TERMINFO .  Any programs run subsequent to this assignment
          will make use of the modified terminfo entry instead of the
          original terminfo entry.

     EXAMPLE
                    TERMINFO=`chgtinfo xhp, smso=E[3m, smul@,`
                    export TERMINFO

          This will add the xhp boolean variable, change or add the
          smso string variable, and remove the smul string variable
          from the current terminfo entry.

     FILES
          /usr/tmp/tinfo*     temporary directories and files holding
                              modified terminfo entry
