I'm tackling two subjects with one article to save on headers :-)
1) In response to recent requests from newcomers for software, I
thought I'd point out the "AT&T Computer Software Catalog --
Workstation Software". It lists several hundred software packages
that run on the UNIX PC (plus several hundred more that do not). It
is published by Prentice Hall. I have the Spring 1987 edition, and
it is over 1000 pages. Cost was $22.95 at my local bookstore.
2) I run RM COBOL on here (3B1, 3.51a) in order to run an accounting
package that requires it. COBOL wants to have its own termcap
identifiers in the terminal descriptions (why I don't know. If it
knows about termcap, why not just read what's there.).
Specifically, I had to add
:NM=\E[0m:NB=\E[0m\E[1m:NR=\E[0m\E[7m:NS=\E[0m\E[1m\E[7m:\
:AL=\E[0m\E[2m:AB=\E[0m\E[1m\E[2m:AR=\E[0m\E[2m\E[7m:
:AS=\E[0m\E[1m\E[2m\E[7m:RS=\E[0m:OV=0:CF=\E[=1C:\
:CN=\E[=0C:
(I know, some of the escape sequences are rather long, but I
couldn't figure out from the window(7) man page how to do
multiple attributes in one escape sequence.)
Anyway... the problem is that when I have these entries installed,
vi starts to screw up, and I can't figure out why. It shouldn't be
looking at any entries with capital letters, so even if some
conflicted with TAM codes, it still wouldn't matter, right?
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks...

standard ansi x3.64 syntax is \E[{attrib}[,{attrib}][,{attrib}]{cmd}
it is surprising they neglected to mention it...
for example: \E[0;2;7m
so, your entries become --
:NM=\E[0m:NB=\E[0;1m:NR=\E[0;7m:NS=\E[0;1;7m:\
:AL=\E[0;2m:AB=\E[0;1;2m:AR=\E[0;2;7m:
:AS=\E[0;1;2;7m:RS=\E[0m:OV=0:CF=\E[=1C:\
:CN=\E[=0C:
1 is usually bold and 2 is usually dim.
using both bold and dim in one sequence is odd, to say the least --
one should cancel the other.
