This may not be a bug report, but rather more hidden "features" in 3.5, but
I had to make two changes to get Pcomm working right. First, in setting
things up to use vt100 borders, after I did the:
infocmp -I s4 > s4.ti
I had trouble doing the "tic s4.ti" because it kept telling me "At least one
synonym should begin with a letter." To fix this, I used a crude patch that
may bring the whole system crashing to my feet, but it didn't seem to dammage
anything and it works. I changed the first line from:
5425|AT&T UNIX PC Model 7300,
to
s4|5425|AT&T UNIX PC Model 7300,
Anyone who knows terminfo that can tell me what this will do?
Next problem - the line to be added to /etc/profile that reads
if [ -n "`tput tab`" ] ;then
should read
if [ -n "`tput tab` 2>&1" ] ;then
as the error is sent to stderr. This could be just a "feature" of 3.5.
If you have another version, try both ways -- it won't hurt.

Thanks for the great program, Emmet. Especially for the zmodem door.
That'll save me from doing all those ^A-4s and using the BACKdoor!
