I know is not the place, but I'm on a system that doesn't get comp.os.os9.
Could someone post a terminfo source file for OS9 terminals and/or Coco 3 OS-9 Level Two windowing system.  I have made one, but it doesn't do blink, bold, underline, and any other codes that uses 0x1f.  For some reason if I do a tput blink and then tput bold, it will blink the next line, but the clears the screen, but no bold.

Huy,
    I remember that there was a bug in one of the driver modules for the CoCo's
video display that caused escape codes written by separate writes (i.e. the
one byte writes probably used by your terminal program) not to be interpreted
correctly since a buffer was being overwritten.
    CoCo folks on the net, does anyone have a copy of the fix handy?  I'm not
sure whether I still have a copy at home.  Please note: Huy does not get
comp.os.os9, so I've redirected followups back to comp.sys.m6809, where
the article was first posted.

Thanks Pete,  but I've found that patch that lets multiple os9 codes work 
correctly.
