I am trying to run a cursesX application on our new DecStation 5000, and have found that there is no termlib entry for an xterm. I therefore took the termcap entry and did a tic -v on it. While the tic command seemed to work ok (it created an xterm directory in /usr/lib/terminfo/x), when I try running my curses application I get from initscr() "Sorry, I don't know how to deal with your `xterm` terminal". Why isn't it finding the xterm entry in termlib?? Please respond directly to me at the address above and thanks for your help. - Eliot Salant
