+eterm-color.ti is a terminfo source file.  eterm-color is a compiled
+version produced by the terminfo compiler (tic).  The compiled files
+are binary, and depend on the version of tic, but they seem to be
+system-independent and backwardly compatible.  So there should be no
+need to recompile (see etc/Makefile) the distributed binary version.
+
+The compiled file is used by lisp/term.el, so if it is moved term.el
+needs to be changed.  terminfo requires it to be stored in an `e'
+subdirectory (the first character of the file name).
