[comp.misc] Wanted: lots and lots of terminal descriptions

rhys@batserver.cs.uq.oz.au (Rhys Weatherley) (11/15/90)

Hello all,

This seems about the best place I can think of to post this request.
I would like to get my hands on FULL descriptions of terminal capabilities,
especially the VT52, VT100, VT102, ANSI (or ANSI-BBS), and the ADMXX series.
Termcap and Terminfo entries are no good to me because I don't trust them to
tell me the whole story, just what the designers decided was a good subset of
capabilities available on all terminals.

If anyone knows of an ftp site, list server or other source (preferably
in machine-readable form) that has "bulk" information on terminal types, I
would be very much appreciate it.  If you are not aware of any central
depository of this information, but if you do have full descriptions of any of
the terminal types above, then send them to my via e-mail (don't post) and
I'll "archive" everything I get and let post a followup summarising where
they can be got or what I have.

Please e-mail replies, and thanks in advance.

Rhys.

P.S. This has no doubt been asked before, but I'm willing to create an
     "archive" of this information if no-one else has already.
