I am in need of a termcap/terminfo definition to support WordPerfect 5.0 with KERMIT. WordPerfect supplies a definition for their product, but there is no information, that I have been able to locate to produce a regular TERMCAP/TERMINFO definition for other applications. I also run over 400 MicroFocus COBOL applications (ported from TI-990 minicomputer) that requires terminfo. My company has computer sites in over 90 cities in over 35 states. Our office has to support these user sites over normal dial-up lines. We also only have 4 analysts to support these sites including performing conversion from old computers to the new SCO UNIX machines. During the next year or two, all sites will have new computers and we will have to remotely setup printers etc. As our users are not skilled in computer usage, most of them barely know how to turn on a printer. I also am looking for a termcap definition for TELIX 3.15 that will support VI in ansi-bbs mode (screen does not update properly). Any help will be appreciated. Douglas A.

WordPerfect supplies a definition for their product, but The MS-KERMIT distribution from Columbia University (ftp to watsun.cc.columbia.edu) has a file with several termcap entries to specifically support KERMIT...

I've had reasonable luck using Telix 3.15 and TERM=vt102 with AT&T Unix SysV r3.1.1 and r3.2 on 3B2, SCO Xenix 2.3.2, SCO Unix 3.2 v1 & v2, SunOS 4.0, and other systems... at least well enough to run vi. It has even run EDT under VAX VMS (sorry, version number eludes me at the moment). >Any help will be appreciated. The long term solution would be for me to port Per Lindberg's VT-100 test suite to MS-DOS and give Colin a copy.

I've been promising to do so for > ages... thanks, but I also need access to at least 10 function keys for my emulation to function properly. I can get ansi mode to come real close, but when in ansi mode, VI will erase charaters when moving past them & other characters at the end of lines etc. I am using SCO UNIX and SCO XENIX (joined together in a TCP-IP network) depending upon which machine I need to work on. Both have the same problems with TELIX. I have been forced to use the James River ICE.TEN package when editing which is a hassle, switching back and forth (ICE.TEN [or dejavu] does not have and file transfer software built-in). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Douglas A.
