Now that I work for a place that has both a (wierd) XENIX system [the Altos 2086] that uses termcap and a XENIX/System V on a 386 [the Altos 1000] that uses terminfo, I have need of a termcap to terminfo translation utility. Seems to me such a utility probably exists in public domain software somewhere (maybe even more than one somewheres :^) As my boss has asked me about such a beast and having had vague memories of something broadcast on the net last year, I thought I'd give this a try. Is such a beast available? And how do I (or rather my company) acquire it? --john wynstra US mail (home) Apt. 9G, 43-10 Kissena Blvd., Flushing, N.Y., 11355 (work) Soft Computer, 864 Willis Avenue, Albertson, N.Y.

I hear about "distribution tapes" (available with proof of license). Are these software archives like the stuff on comp.sources, ie, a public domain sources potpourri, or, are they more specific, eg, the latest version of `rn'?

You can get it from a comp.sources.unix archive site. It's listed in the Volume 3 index as TCtoTI. See the introductory article in comp.sources.unix for details on the many archive sites (uucp and ftp). -- Jim Meyering meyering@cs.utexas.edu cs.utexas.edu!meyering
