[comp.sys.apollo] TERM environment variable on Apollos

leland@DRAGONFLY.WRI.COM (02/05/91)

I have no additional information as to whether or not Apollo
changed the way TERM is set at SR10.3, but you all should note that
it was mentioned in release notes some time ago (I don't remember which OS
rev, sorry) that TERM was no longer going to accurately reflect the
type of graphics controller and should not be used for that purpose.

Apollo should probably hightlighted the change more strongly, this was
a pretty small and obscure note. Someone with access to more OS releases
than myself could probably find the exact words.
