From: dad@u1100s.UUCP In Rick Thomas's original posting to mod.sources (444@genrad.UUCP) of the termcap for crosstalk, he gives both termcap and terminfo versions. He uses the terminfo version himself and it seems to work. How ever, I found a problem with the termcap version. I called Rick and we traced the problem to a flag in the termcap entry. Here is a corrected termcap entry for crosstalk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A bug was found in the recently posted termcap entry for the crosstalk program emulating a vt100. The problem amounts to double newlines being generated in vi when a line is longer than 80 characters. The following is the original posing and a correction. >From: ihnp4!sftig!rbt > >Here is the xtalk termcap.
