[comp.terminals] Emulation info needed

Brendan@cup.portal.com (04/27/88)

 I need to know either where I can obtaih information on the commands for
certain emulations (aka a book etc), or how to use the termcap entries (this
will be for on a C128 in 128 mode...if I were able to make the standard
termcaps work with it, expandability would be limitless)...the ones I'm
particularly interested in right now are VT100, VT102, VT52, ADM-31, ADM-3A,
IBM3101-10, and TVI925...any and all help would be *greatly* appreciated..

    A good place to start would be simply listing the 'man 5 termcap' entry to a printer. This give a rather lengthy and complete (if a bit hard to follow in places) description of how to use the termcap files. Once you've done that, I'm 
    sure you could create your own termcap entry for the c128. The only thing 
    I can forsee you needing right now would be a complete listing of the c128
    character set. If you aren't familiar with the C environment, I would not
    suggest doing it on your own.

      Hope this helps.
