Try ibm6154, ibm5151, or even just aixterm... They are all defined in
the standard terminfo files in /usr/lib/terminfo.

The mother-may-I OS strikes again...) This may be totally obvious, but why don't you just port Gnu awk (gawk) to the RTs? Then you'd have something that is (nearly) compatible with the awk on the 6000. There are a few minor differences, the only one I can remember is that the counter in a for-loop has a be a single-character variable (i.e.: for (a in array) { ... } This bug exists in gawk, at least on the BSD ports we have, but it's not a big deal. The awk on the RT is, as you've discovered, really old. eric murray ericm@ibminet.awdpa.ibm.com uunet!ibmsupt!ericm the lawyers make me say: this posting doesn't represent official ibm policy "Mien Kampf- the mini-series!
