The thing that still seems to confuse people is that DEC terminals didn't support colour until about vt320 or something. So if you are using a real DEC terminal or an accurate emulator, then vt52, vt100, vt102 and vt220 won't support colour. Some emulators allow you to add colour to a monochrome terminal type, but that is usually a lot of work. What ever method you use, you are going to need a ZA entry in your termcap file. The ZA variable is documented somewhere in the Informix manuals. The easiest emulation for colour is usually ansi. Here is a termcap entry you might try: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ li|ansi|Ansi standard crt:\\ :al=\\E[L:am:bs:cd=\\E[J:ce=\\E[K:cl=\\E[2J\\E[H:cm=\\E[%i%d;%dH:co#80:\\ :dc=\\E[P:dl=\\E[M:dn=\\E[B:ei=:ho=\\E[H:ic=\\E[@:im=:li#25:\\ :nd=\\E[C:ms:pt:so=\\E[7m:se=\\E[m:us=\\E[4m:ue=\\E[m:up=\\E[A:\\ :kn=12:k0=\\E[M:k1=\\E[N:k2=\\E[O:k3=\\E[P:k4=\\E[Q:k5=\\E[R:\\ :k6=\\E[S:k7=\\E[T:k8=\\E[U:k9=\\E[V:k0=\\E[W:kA=\\E[X:\\ :kb=^h:ku=\\E[A:kd=\\E[B:kl=\\E[D:kr=\\E[C:eo:\\ :gs=\\E[12m:ge=\\E[10m:GV=\\63:GH=D:\\ :gb=Z@?YD3:\\ :G1=?:G2=Z:G3=@:G4=Y:\\ :GU=A:GD=B:GC=E:GL=C:GR=\\64:RT=^J:\\ :ZA=\\E[1;%?%p1%{0}%=%t37%e%p1%{1}%=%t33%e%p1%{2}%=%t35%e%p1%{3}%=%t31%e%p1%{4}%=%t36%e%p1%{5}%=%t32%e%p1%{6}%=%t34%e%p1%{7}%=%t30;0%;m\\E[40m%?%p2%t\\E[0;7m%e\\E[27m%;%?%p3%t\\E[5m%;%?%p4%t\\E[4m%;: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't tried this on Linux, but it used to work well on SCO.
