Does anyone know visible-bell termcap entries (for use with e.g. Emacs)
for any of the following terminals?
adm5
adm3a+
tvi910+
tvi912
Data-Type XK-1
Thanks in advance for any help!

Alas, I don't think there is a way to have a visible bell. The adm3a and tvi91x use onscreen embedded characters to set visual attributes (which is why spacing looks funny if you run nroff on text that has underlining in it and send it to the stdout ... ). The attribute is turned off when the embedded character scrolls off the top of the screen. Also, the attribute is set from where the character is embedded to either the bottom of the screen or to the next character that appears that turns the attribute off. This is different from the tvi950, where a program can send esc-b to the screen and reverse the whole screen, and esc-whatever to reset it to normal. -- Melinda Shore, Microcomputer Laboratory University of Chicago Computation Center uucp: ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!shor Mailnet: staff.melinda@UChicago.Mailnet Bitnet: shor%sphinx@uchicago.bitnet ARPA: staff.melinda%UChicago.Mailnet@mit-multics.arpa

The 910+, 925 and 950 seem to be an increasing series of terminals with compatible codes. I recall seeing a termcap entry for the 910+, 925, and 950 which had the following entry for visible bell: vb=\Eb\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\Ed One unrelated note: the codes for several attributes (reverse video and blinking, among others) are different from the older terminals (920/912) and the newer ones (910+/925/950). This makes for great fun if you have both running around. -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.

I don't know about the adm3a, but the tvi91x series has one visual attribute that isn't an imbedded on the screen, that of dim. I hate the magic cookie glitches a lot of terminals have and all the termcaps I've designed for the tvi's (and other look-a-likes) use dim for both standout and underline. robert -- Robert Viduya Georgia Institute of Technology ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!robert ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!robert
