Re: Why doesn't Informix understand my terminal type

Phill You need to set the TERMCAP variable to either /etc/termcap or $INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap. And you need to set the *TERM* variable to vt100 or xterm, not TERMINAL, at least on all the Unix flavors I have worked with.

The TERMINAL variable is xterm. Even if I change it to vt100 I still get the same error. Can anyone please explain how I can fix this. TIA, -- Phill Edwards --
