[comp.sources.wanted] termcap wanted

halliday@bdcvax.UUCP (02/16/87)

Help! I need a termcap entry for an older model Ann Arbor terminal.
The nameplate calls it a model 4080 - it seems to be the predecessor
to the Ann Arbor Ambassador. The termcap I'm using for it looks like
this:

N0|aa2|annarbor|4080|ann arbor 4080:\
	:cr=^M:do=^J:nl=^J:bl=^G:\
	:cm=^O%r%\066%.%>^S^L%+@:\
	:co#80:li#40:le=^H:bs:cl=2^L:up=^N:nd=^_:am:\
	:kb=^^:kd=^J:ku=^N:kl=^H:kr=^_:kh=^K:
 
This works on vi, but notes drives the terminal crazy. The index page
comes out with all the words jammed end-to-end, and the string OOPS
scattered here and there.
 
Thank you.

Firstly, "OOPS" is output when the function 'tgoto' gets a cursor
motion (cm) string it does not understand.  This is probably happening
when tgoto runs into "%\066" which is equivalent to "%6", which it
won't understand.  The reason things appear wrong is probably due
to the cm string being wrong.

Why VI works is beyond me, I can guarantee you that PC/VI wouldn't
understand it!

Here's one. If it doesn't work out, I have several variations on my
machine at home.

Thank you everybody. I've gotten most of the information I need
but I am still going to have to experiment because the terminal
in question isn't a standard Ann Arbor 4080 - it's been specially
modified by the University of B.C.
 
I tried an Ambassador termcap, but that's even worse.

USENET comes through again!
