We just recently acquired AIX for PS/2. The AIX shell within X windows
insists on making itself into a "hft-c". The rest of our world here is
AOS. Question: has anybody out there made a termcap entry for a
hft-c that they could send me? All that comes with AIX is a terminfo
entry.
Thanks

Make a termcap entry that looks like this: hft|hft-c:tc=ansi: `ansi' works tolerably well for AIX-PS/2 hft's; I use it every day. Xterm on AIX/RT provides a VT100 mode which might also be useful if your systems have it too. There's more work involved if your AOS machines have 6153 monitors with no X support, and you want to use them to edit on the PS/2. You'll have to find a machine that has captoinfo and compile a terminfo entry based on the termcap entry from the AOS machine. System 5 Release 3 machines have captoinfo. There's also a public domain version that's not quite complete, but which produced a usable terminfo entry when I used it for exactly this application. I think it's in the comp.sources.unix archives.

If you are talking about aixterm, you can start it up with the -v option to provide vt100 emulation... At least you can on my RT implementation.
