[comp.sys.sgi] Problem with iris-ansi-net termcap

shenkin@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Peter S. Shenkin) (10/31/90)

The following termcap appears on two systems that I log into from the
personal iris, running wsh.  On a Sun, vi is barely usable;  even when
typing in insert mode, strange things happen.  On an Encore, vi is
not usable at all;  the cursor never leaves the bottom line of the
display.

I wonder if anyone has encountered these difficulties, and can supply
a better termcap.

Incidentally, these behaviors continue if I use one of the other
iris termcaps that exist (there's one called just iris, and one called
wsiris, and there's a wsiris24....), and the behaviors persist whether
I use a 40- or a 24-line wsh on the PI.

If you've "been there" and have advice, please send or post.

	-P.
