I just inherited a Tek 4025 graphics terminal and the associated IEEE488
plotter...
Couple 'o questions:
1) Dose anyone have a termcap for one of these?
2) Has anyone out there programmed one of these beasts and would like to
share horror stories?
3) Deos anyone know if you can add something other than the plotter and
the tape drives the this thing?
4) Could someone point me to someone in Tex that knows a lot about these
things?
Thanks for the net.help....

The Tektronix 4025 is undoubtedly one of the most poorly-designed terminals of all time. What happens on its display is dependent on what you're doing on the keyboard!

Although some people hate the old 4025's with a passion, I actually
rather liked it. I did have some problems - mainly that you can't
do direct cursor movements in the "normal" (monitor) viewing area,
but I really liked the scroll memory. Also, if you have the
graphics memory option it will do 4025 graphics, as well as standard
Plot-10 (4010/4014) style graphics.
Here's the termcap I used to use. One is for a vanilla 4025, another
if you have a 4025a and yet another if you have a 4025a with the
Mod VT, which makes it look like a VT-100 or VT-52. I had the
numeric keypad programmed so that the 2 4 6 and 8 keys move the
cursor and the 1 and 7 keys move forward and back a page in vi and
the 3 and 9 keys move the internal scroll memory forward and back
a half screen full (I think - it's been awhile since I used one).
The initialization files are below the termcap stuff - this sets the
command character to control-underscore (the default '!' is particularly
bad on Unix systems).

Sorry, folks, but this change is not a matter of one or two lines,
it seems to be at least half the (curses) program. Tek management does not
want us to post significant portions of any code which falls under Tek
copyright. We're supposedly SELLING the stuff, you see.
