Well, it uses a substitute termcap.  Unfortunately, it doesn't always
"work": SunOS 4.1, for example, has a vi that completely ignores
$TERMCAP.  (reset too, but that doesn't bother me - I never use it.)

(Really Sun, aintcha never heard of compatibility?  Major pain to be
suddenly unable to use vi.  Fortunately on the new SPARCs emacs starts
about as fast, so just scratch vi....)
