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?

Before I started fiddling with the 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???? -larry -- +--------------------------------------+-- St. Petersburg Junior College --+ | Lawrence F. Strickland | P.O.
