Informix-compatible termcaps in ftp archive
Posted in 1993
I have reorganized the collection of Informix-compatible termcap entries in the ftp archive on mathcs.emory.edu, mostly out of self defense. I received a new batch of entries from Dave Snyder (Thanks, Dave!), and keeping all of the entries glommed into one big file was starting to become cumbersome. Instead of one shell archive file, there is now a sub-directory "termcaps" in /pub/informix/pub that contains several files. The index file from that sub-directory is included below. Maybe we could start a competition for the most esoteric entry. I recently came across a special entry that I had to write once for a Kaypro-10 running MITE under CP/M. Anybody need that one? :-) So anyway, here's the index file. Let me know if you notice any problems with any of this. Walt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INDEX termcap entries for Informix Last Changed: February 9, 1993 The files in this directory contain a collection of termcap entries submitted by Informix users and/or grabbed off of the Net. In most cases, these entries work correctly in the specific environment for which they were developed. However, they have been accumulated here without testing or editing, so of course "your mileage may vary." The entries have been divided into files based loosely on the actual and/or emulated equipment which they support. This categorization is somewhat arbitrary, and is designed mainly to help decide if a new entry is already in the archive. There is some overlap of entries; e. g., entries for Wyse terminals emluating DEC VT100's appear in both files "wyse" and "vt". The overlap of possibly equivalent entries is not complete, however. As an example, the entries in the file "ansi" don't appear in "vt", although truely ANSI-compatible entries would probably work on truely VT100-compatible terminals. The files and the entries they contain are listed in the table below. If you find any entries that need corrections, or you have additional entries that you would like to submit, please send a copy to walt@mathcs.emory.edu, or {...,gatech,rutgers,uunet}!emory!walt. Terminfo entries are also welcome.
