[comp.unix.aux] TERMCAP entry for mac2

root@radar.UUCP (root) (12/20/88)

Does anyone have the source code for the terminfo entry
for "mac2" (the MacII Initial Console Emulator). I notice
that programs that use termcap instead of terminfo (for
example "rn" and "less") have trouble with the standout
mode. Programs that use terminfo don't.

I'm curious as to why? Any thoughts?

Just a thought: you culd untic (uncompile) the terminfo and compare it with the
termcap for any obvious differences. "untic" is public domain I believe and if
you don't have it someone on the net might be able to get you a copy. Hmmm...
I think if I rumage around I can find a copy. If your're interested send me
e-mail.
