Still looking for a TERMCAP setting that will allow my model III to talk properly with Reeds Vax 780 using unix I use videotext plus from rad shack. I have started writing my own entry, but have little info that will help me in this project. I have the termcap entry for Ron Bemis's trs-term but would still like to use my vidtex if possible. I haven't been able to translat trs-term yet anyway. Any info would help.. Thanx in advance.. John B. WIndberg Tektronix!reed!johnw

WIndberg > Tektronix!reed!johnw Since this termcap may be of general use, I'm posting to the net rather than mailing to John. It runs vi, and plays hack and rogue well on my 4p. Having no MIII vidtex, I've never tested it in that environment. I'd appreciate it if someone would let me know if it works there.

Your entry exactly matches the one I have created of a combination of other responses. And it indeed works on all combinations described. The only problem is in vidtex not having reverse scroll. At low baud 1200 or less this is very irratating.. I am studying and Ron Bemis has said he will post info later about his trsterm. I have gotten it to work well with vi as vi does not request a cm (cursor motion) entry. Rogue talk and others do.. Maybe if someone out there in computerland knows what the cm entry might be Ron has not returned my last message.. who knows... johnw@reed

Can anyone explain to me the cm (cursor motion) entry in a termcap entry. I have a tc entry for vidtex and would like to get the one I have for Ron Bemis's trsterm to work correctly. VI works well, but I have been told it does not use the cm setting. Talk and other programs do not work correctly and I believe it is the cm entry. thanks in advance.. johnw @ reed John B.
