[net.unix] TERMINFO vs. TERMCAP

gn@loonam.UUCP (04/01/85)

There apears to be some confusion regarding a message I posted
requesting a TERMINFO entry for wyse-50. I have barraged (grate-
fully, it warms one's heart to see a full mailbox) with 
termcap entries.  Loonam distributes Wyse terminals to resellers
and one of our resellers has an enduser who has a system that is 
using TERMINFO and not TERMCAP (5.2??), and I mentioned I might
be able to find one for him....

If you have UNIX System V Release 2 sources, the source directory
libcurses/terminfo contains an "ex" script to convert termcaps to
terminfos.  Not perfect but it helps.
