Were the bugs fixed which I have mailed you in my last posting or
did they just never occur?

I assume you mean the original poster and not me. 
Add SIEMENS PC-MX2 (SINIX 2.0 [SYSIII/Xenix derived]) and SUN 3/160 (OS 3.5)
to your list. Adl is alive and kicking here.

You need not memory lock (ML/MU), but CS (change scrolling region). Normally
this feature is not entered in Termcap specifications, because vi and (standard)
curses don't use it.
Maybe I will add it if I have the time.
