[comp.unix.microport] termcap entry for ansi

cmc3@nvuxr.UUCP (C Chase) (04/12/88)

I have encountered some difficulty with my port of jove to 
my 2.3 release of sytem V/AT.  In particular, doing a C-N (next-line)
while at the bottom of the screen results in garbage.  I believe
that what is supposed to happen is: the screen scrolls up about 12
lines or so, new lines of text are placed on the bottom half of the
screen.  

I took a binary termcap file from another system V machine
and my problems with jove went away.  However, I had some troubles with
other screen oriented programs.  Before I started fiddling with the 
untic'ed ansi-24 supplied by uPort, has anyone experienced these problems
before?

I've had a similar problem running moria on a SUN 3/50 from remote terminals.
As long as you are on the system console there appears to be no
problem, but when you shift to a remote terminal running vt100, ansi,
etc. moria messes up.  Vi does not.

After some work, I traced the problem to the clear-to-end-of-line
specifier in the termcap file.  By removing that (and creating a new
entry first), I've gotten moria to work fine, albeit a little slow.

Now, however, vi has some rather painful problems.  It occassionally
does not draw the screen correctly.  If I shift back to the standard
ansi or vt100 termcap's everything works fine.  Is it possible that
there is a problem with speed????
