Does anyone else have a problem with the UUENCODED version of Elle (that
ast posted a little while ago) using the ANSI tty.c?
The version I received seems to use the Heath-19 control codes if the TERM
environment variable is not set, and the only other TERM values it would
accept seems to be the Datamedia 2500 and 3500 terminals (DM2500 and DM3500).
Setting TERM to ANSI and exporting it would return a "unrecognized type"
message from Elle.
Another possibility is that I am doing something really brain-damaged.
Anyone got it working???

It is true that the default is the H-19. I am not sure why, but the most reasonable guess is that Ken had an H-19 around at the time he was writing it. The TERM value has to agree with one of the names in /etc/termcap. If you are using the /etc/termcap that I posted, I think TERM=minix is the appropriate thing to put in your .profile, and don't forget to export TERM. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
