I put the following into my .login (or .profile) program.
The question mark may be left off the tset statement if you only
use a vt100 (or whatever - change the tset statement) at your
work site. On our system, $term is set immediately (before .lo-
gin is executed) to 'dswitch' or 'dialup'. I use my trash-80
(Model III) only from a dialup modem at home, so this works just
fine for me. If you have some other setup, at least you may be
able to benefit from the trs80 termcap provided.
if ($term == 'dswitch') then
tset -s -Q -m':?vt100' > ~/.termset
source ~/.termset
else
# ($term is 'dialup')
echo 'trs80' > ~/.termset
setenv TERM trs80
setenv TERMCAP 'M6|trs80|trs-80:\
ae=^V:am:as=^V:bc=\030:bs:bw:cd=\037:\
ce=\036:cl=\034\037:co#64:do=^Z:ho=\034:\
is=\034\037^N:kr=\t:ku=[:li#16:ll=\034\033:\
nd=^Y:up=\E'
# if they ever fix /etc/termcap trs80 TERMCAP:
# tset -s -Q -m':?trs80' > ~/.termset
# source ~/.termset
endif
A warning:
This termcap assumes that your terminal displays tabs, carriage
returns, and line feeds correctly.
THIS IS NOT SO!
I found no way to kludge up the termcap to allow my terminal
to be this way. (The ultimate goal was using 'vi' at home.)
As a result, I had to go into my terminal program and modify
it to handle these three characters correctly.
My program also allows printing (spooled) and uploading and
downloading. I also set up a control sequence to allow all stan-
dard UNIX characters to be sent from the (limited) trs80 key-
board.
If anyone out there is interested in this program or any
others I have (i.e. my own debugger and disassembler - much
better than Rat Shack's), drop me a line by electronic or US mail
and I'll send you whatever you want for the price of the disk and
postage. (Or send me a blank disk with a SASMailer) and I'll get
a copy off to you.
P.S. My disk format is the old boring TRSDOS 1.3.
