Does anyone have a termcap entry for the IBM Personal Computer? Could you post it to net.sources and/or one of the many net.term type groups? Nothing is included on 4.2 BSD for the PC, although there are entries for the Apple IIe and the TRS-80 Model II. Bill Tuthill ucbvax!imagen!tut

#R:ucbopal:-16300:whuxle:25800002:000:726 whuxle!eric Apr 7 08:34:00 1984 I have a FREE terminal simulation package I will send to anyone who sends me a self addressed stamped floppy disk. It allows the IBM-PC to become an intelligent terminal with text upload and download, XMODEM upload and download, and full escape sequence cursor control that resemble (not exactly) an HP2621. It can also simulate EXACTLY an adm3a if you so desire. It comes with source (mostly Pascal, some assembler), and a TERMCAP file for use with UNIX utilities. Note: this terminal program requires that YOU have the Async package, but the program itself is public domain (home brewed right here!!) My address is Eric Holtman 35 Dogwood Trail Randolph, NJ 07869

No full-screen software can be used with the terminal program that comes with the IBM-PC. It doesn't provide any escape sequences for such things as cursor positioning, as far as I know. You should purchase a terminal emulation package, which would probably emulate some well-known terminal (VT100 is a common terminal to emulate), and then tell Unix that you are that type of terminal. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar

<rm -r *> The PC flavor of DOS 2.0 has as one of it's many features the ability to act as a ANSII standard terminal. This is done by putting "device=ansi.sys" in your config.sys file.(page 13-2 of DOS 2.0 manual). I have a termcap entry for this running around somewhere on my VENIX system along with the standard VT52 type PC entry that most communications packages use. If interested, drop a note.
