DBACCESS and DTTERM
Posted in 1998
Hi,
We've recently converted machines over to HPUX-10.20 in which the
default terminal is "dtterm". The problem arises when we try to use
dbaccess which states that
"The type of your terminal is unknown to the system"
when TERM is set to dtterm.
Various permutations setting the environmental variables
INFORMIXTERM
TERMINFO
seem to have no effect. We do have a dtterm entry in
our /usr/share/lib/terminfo directory and I added it to
the $INFORMIXDIR/etc/terminfo file without any change
in dbaccess behavior. The only way to get it to work
is to set TERM to vt100 in a dtterm window. We'd like
to use the colors that are available with dtterm.
We are using:
DB-Access Version 5.03.UC1
Has anyone else with similar OS and version have better
success than we have?
