[comp.sys.cbm] vt100-128

jeffw@althea.UUCP (Jeff Waltzer) (02/12/90)

I am having trouble with the vt100-128 terminal emulator when I'm using the 
vi editor.  Does anybody know what the problem is?  Does anybody have an
alternate termcap I could use that fixes the problem.

If the trouble you had is the same as the trouble I had (that vi expected the
cursor to remain at the right edge when a character was printed to the
eightieth column and therefore sent a CR and an LF that you didn't need) it
turned out that removing eat_newline_bug (xenl) from the terminal definition
solved it.

Try getting a newer version of vt100-128. The version that comes with the 1670
modem disk doesn't fully support vt100. It has somes bugs with windows and such
So, if you call Qlink you cana get a copy of the NEW version in their CN 
software library (its kinda hidden). I dunno for sure, but the UXV maze mail
server may have it- but I thought I read something about no rights to copy. Not
sure.
