We are running GNU Emacs on a SUN4/280 now, and we have tvi950 terminals. Every time I bring a paused emacs process into the forground, I end up with garbage on the screen and have to wait until all the garbage is done before I can refresh the screen (which works). At first I thought this was a termcap padding problem since the SUN4 is so fast, but I tried putting a padding of at least 100 on every entry, and 900 on `clear display' and a few others. This did not solve the problem at all, although everything ran noticeably slower. We are using the standard termcap distributed by SUN with OS3.2. Before I delve deep into the murky waters of termcap, I thought I'd ask if anyone out there has a termcap for the tvi950 that works with GNU and the SUN4. Christopher Welty --- Asst.

We put the following in ymakefile and everything worked. #ifdef sparc tparam.o: tparam.c cc -c tparam.c #else tparam.o : tparam.c #endif -- Ian Dall "In any argument there will be people on your side who you wish were on the other side." idall@augean.oz
