I was wondering if anyone has a /etc/termcap entry for an AT&T 610 terminal.
This terminal came as the console terminal with our 3B2/400 and there is not
an entry for it in the /etc/termcap file on the machine and yet everything
works file. The only entry that I did find that seemed even close was for
the AT&T 513 terminal. Unfortunately, the arrow keys do not respond well,
(at all). In the owners manual that came with the terminal, there was a
termcap entry for this terminal which was in print. Unforunately, the
text used for the printing did not differentiate between 'zero' and 'O'.
Before I get flamed for asking and not writing it myself, I have a fairly
strong aversion to reinventing the wheel.
thanks in advance:

P.S. How does my header come through, the person in charge of the mail here
has been 'playing' and we often get some really 'unique' headers.dlm@cuuxb.ATT.COM (Dennis L. Mumaugh) (02/08/89)

Most cases don't require a termcap entry since there is a
terminfo entry. Make sure that you have installed the
appropriate terminfo utilities.
There are a few non-ATT programs looking for an /etc/termcap
entry. To get one read for entry for infocmp(1M0 in the
Programmers Reference Manual. Try TERM=610 infocmp -C -r 610 and
look at the output. When I did it there are two entries that
must be changed by hand, and a warning that the entry is too long
for termcap to handle.
