Hallo,
Just to report a minor problem, introduced in 3.3 and still
persistent in 3.3.1:
The terminfo entry for the good old vt100 terminals is broken.
The sequences to turn on/off the alternate keypad sequences (smkx/rmkx
in terminfo-terms, ks/ke for termcap) don't work. Having a look at the
current description they read:
rmkx=\E[?1l and smkx=\E[?1h
After working with the vt100 manual (and remembering having had the
same problem with the 3100 machines) the two sequences should read:
rmkx=\E[?1l\E> and smkx=\E[?1h\E=
I have reported this in June when I received the early 3.3 release,
but it hasn't made it into 3.3.1. Could somebody at SGI take care of
my suggestion?
Regards

PS: I don't agree with some people that the transition 3.2.x->3.3(.1)
was as bad as 3100->4D. For me it was smooth with some minor, easy
to work around, problems.
PPS: Somebody posted that a place to raise bug-reports (e.g sgibugs@sgi.com)
would be a good idea. I back this motion.
