[net.micro.atari] Terminfo for Atari 800

jja1@houxl.UUCP (J.AIUTO) (10/16/85)

Is there anyone out there who could help me find a terminfo entry
for an Atari 800 and/or 800XL?

If so, please reply by mail.

Thanks in advance:

Antic Magazine puts out a terminal emulator program called "Chameleon" which
contains in the documentation a termcap to use with Chameleon.   This allows
your Atari 8 bit machine (XL and XE) to act as a terminal for interfacing with
UNIX systems.  This is what I use at home to get in and out of the Tek computer
systems as well as the net.  I am not positive whether it will work with the
original 800 computer or not.  It works fine with the 800XL, 1200XL and 130XE
-- does not work with 600XL as it requires the use of a disk drive.  [Unless
you have fixed your 600XL up to somehow work with a disk drive (with 16k
memory) or have added memory to it.]

   We need net.micro.st for ST's, leave net.micro.atari for 800/XL/XE's!!!
