Does anyone out there have good /etc/termcap entries for DN3xxx,
DN4xxx, and DN3xx consoles?
It would be nice to be able to run vi from the phaseII shell. Insted
of having to go to another machine to edit busted startup scripts.
For that matter, why arn't such termcap entries standard issue?

Because it isn't a terminal. "dumb" is about as close as you'll get (that's not totally true, you can do a bit better with pads, but not much). Apollo incorrectly assumed that windowing systems would spell the end of terminals (well, they certainly should have!). What wasn't anticipated was that it would take so long for people to move away from terminal-basesd software. -kee -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Alphalpha Software, Inc. | Voice/Fax: 617/646-7703 | Home: 617/641-3805 | | 148 Scituate St. | Smart fax, dial number. | | | Arlington, MA 02174 | Dumb fax, dial number, | BBS: 617/641-3722 | | nazgul@alphalpha.com | wait for ring, press 3. | 300/1200/2400 baud | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
