[net.micro.amiga] Need TERMCAP for UNIX for Amiga

star@fluke.UUCP (David Whitlock) (12/20/85)

Some time ago, someone posted a TERMinal CAPability listing for the Amiga
so that a system running UNIX and having a 'termcap' program could send
and interpret proper ANSI Screen Control Functions when talking with an
Amiga as a terminal.  I have tried to go back through the net.micro.amiga
newsgroup, but it seems that we trash very old postings and no longer can
recall stuff that far back.  Would someone please repost this information.

I think this was the most current copy:
/* Written  3:47 pm  Nov 24, 1985 by rivero@kovacs in ICO:net.micro.amig */
/* ---------- "termcap" ---------- */

	The previous termcap entry for the Amiga/Maxicomm package  was
	sent  out  in  error, but has been updated.  There are still a
	few bugs, but the following should work somewhat  better,  and
	may support other terminal packages as well, if you are really
	desperate for screen control.

	  Note that this is a copy of the DEC vt100 termcap followed by an
	amiga modifier.

Jeeze, can't MaxiSoft do  anything right? Also, ansi is NOT vt100. To use
the amiga properly on a unix system you need an ansi termcap like the one
I posted a few days ago (borrowed from ElCom's ElTerm). If anyone did not
get it who wants it - mail to me.
