Glad to hear. That's still a bit strange - 5.2.2 and 5.2.3
doesn't differ much by essence (just fixing some compiler
warnings, configure-based build on cygwin, etc) and
not in its terminal emulation handling anyway, and CVS only
differs from 5.2.3 by the addition of those termcap/terminfo
notes (unless the others had added stuff since). I am surprised
that simply adding the termcap/terminfo entries to 5.2.2
doesn't improve it immediately.

It is probably a mistake/oversight of the original authors
to remove the termcap/terminfo files - they were always,
and still are, bundled with almost any version of xterm out
there to go with the features as implemented in that version.
That way, even if the X-server and its bundled termcap/terminfo
has changed, it is still always possible to make the X-client
work properly.
