[comp.sys.sgi] iris-ansi-net

bobf@BLUMIRIS.CHEM.UMR.EDU ("Robert B. Funchess") (08/11/90)

Many thanks to all those who responded... the general consensus is to use
infocmp to generate a description from the iris-ansi-net file, port it to the
other machine, then use tic to compile it there.  This works fine on those
machines I have root access to, and I've got a request in to have it added to
the others.  In the meantime, I'm still using vt100, which is close enough to
correct to let me use vi if I use a 24x80 wsh.  Thanks again...

   You can use tic to create your own terminfo files, so you will have
them to use until your sysadm installs them.  Just read the man pages
on tic.

If your non-SGI unix machine (hopefully BSD-ish) doesn't have the iris-ansi 
termcap entry, then you(no need to be a superuser) should be able to do:

     setenv TERMCAP /my/home/directory/termcap.sgi
     setenv TERM iris-ansi-net
     set term = iris-ansi-net

where 'termcap.sgi' is a file containing:
SA|iris-ansi|iris-ansi-net|S.G. Iris emulating 40 line ANSI terminal:\

The termcap file that contains other iris entries was (is?) available from 
one of the sgi archive sites.
