[comp.emacs] terminfo with microemacs

sal%asbf-cs.huachuca-em.arpa@HUACHUCA-EM.ARPA (ASBF-CSO Lesh) (10/27/87)

	If anyone has succeeded in getting MicroEmacs 3.8 or 3.9 to use
Terminfo, I would appreciate a copy of the code.

	Right now, compiling the code I have 'ld' gives an undefined symbol
error for "term".  I looked in <term.h> but the structure member names refer-
enced in the offending module, "display.c" do not seem to correspond with
those defined in <term.h>.

	Any assistance would be appreciated.  (I have never done
anything with "terminfo" or "termcap".)
	
	Thanks in advance.

This should probably be a mail message, but my mail almost never seems to
get through...

I have modified micro-emacs 3.8 and 3.9 to use the termcap/terminfo defini-
tions for cursor control keys, functions keys (up to 10, thats all termcap
supports), and some special PC-type keys (end,...) for XENIX boxes.  The
results work well on SysV.2 (3b2's), SysV.?? (XENIX), and BSD 4.2(Sun and
Vax).  Most terminals work very well with two notable exceptions:

	(1) Wyse 85's are braindamaged and cannot be forced to send a ^S
	    to a computer (at least not any of the 12 we have)

	(2) ADDS vp60/90 series terminals MUST NOT have reverse video
	    used (WHAT A MESSY TERMINAL)!

All others work fine.  If anyone is interested, I can post/mail/send disks
with said software.  I understand comp.sources.* will no longer post any
versions of microemacs.

Sorry to absorb more bandwidth...

Ummm, comp.sources.unix won't post it.  I've been waiting for the latest
version for a long time, and was wondering why it never arrived....
