We received a BACKUP saveset of GNU18.52 from Free Software Foundation. and there was one error that I cannot figure out. 1. When running emacs for the first time, it says terminal TERMCAP not defined....somehow emacs wants a VT100 to be a TERMCAP ? TERMCAP.DAT does exist and so do entries for all the terminals that we have. I recompiled the sources again and the same problem occured. has anyone had a similar problem ? Currently we are running VMS4.7 but next week we'll move to VMS5-02. Please reply directly to me at "ankgc@cunyvm.cuny.edu" . anil

If you have a logical name TERM defined on your system you will run into that error. Look in the source for references to the string "TERM" the work-around is to define a logical name EMACS_TERM.
