Dear Informix-4GL gurus, What are the character strings that I must have set-up in order for the boxes (windows and/or ring menus) to be displayed properly in an Informix-4GL app? Does it matter whether I use termcap or terminfo? If I convert a termcap entry using captoinfo, will I lose some of the Informix-related capabilities defined in the termcap entry? I am well aware of the INFORMIXTERM, TERM, TERMCAP & TERMINFO envir variables. I simply need to know what are the strings to setup or better yet working termcap/terminfo entries. The specific terminals for which I need this are: vt100, vt220, IBM3151/3153 and DataGeneral terminals. Thanks in advance, Daniel Dansereau Systemes Logikinfo Inc. ddansereau@videotron.ca
