[net.info-terms] termcap to terminfo utility

twh@mb2c.UUCP (Tim Hitchcock) (09/27/84)

Would someone tell me the name of the utility on SYS V rel 2 that
converts /etc/termcap file into a terminfo source file.

Thanks in Advance,

In the UNIX System V Release 2 libcurses source directory there is an
"ex" script for converting a termcap description to terminfo.  Note
that it will not do a perfect job, so if you have the expertise you
should manually prepare the terminfo description.  The script name is
terminfo/cvt.ex .
