Termcap for Informix (Linux)
Eduardo Morales had trouble configuring TERMCAP and TERM for Informix on Linux: function keys, backspace, num-lock and graphics screens misbehaved. Christophe Maumont asked for the terminal type and suggested TERMINFO, noting Informix does not allow it on all systems. Roger Gammans suggested using the TERMCAP file in $INFORMIXDIR/etc and appending entries generated with infocmp -C. No confirmation of a fix.

Hi Gurus, I'm having a hard time configuring my TERMCAP and TERM type; Function keys, Backspace, Num-lock keys, Screens (graphics) and etc. are not working properly. Is there anyone here who can help me with this ? or if you have this TERMCAP would you mind lending it to me. Regards, Jojo

You should better use TERMINFO, it's easyer and more standard and efficient. But INFORMIX doesn't allow TERMINFO for all the systems (it's a BIG shame). I have this trouble on AIX 4.3.1 and I don't know about LINUX. > > Regards, > > Jojo >

I think yhe obvious solution to the is to use the TERMCAP file in $INFORMIXDIR/etc then by using infocmp -C you can apppend approriate termcap entries for your system to it easily. It least that's what I did. TTFN -- Roger
