info-terms (06/08/82)
>From teklabs!tekid!clives@Berkeley Mon Jun 7 23:48:37 1982
Hi Mark:
We've had some system problems here, so am resending you this. Please
let me know if you get it.
I'm enclosing the latest set of Ann Arbor termcaps in use at this site,
Tektronix Instrument Division Vax. The core one is aaa36.
Also included are some mods we found helpful for the vt-100/132 and TAB
terminals to fix auto-margin on vi, a termcap for the Tek (OEM'ed) CT-8500,
some better versions for the gamut of Tek DVST terminals, and a slight mod
for the Tek 402x's.
Here are some problems with the Ann Arbor termcaps you sent on the net:
(Please don't consider them at all personal - I have some inkling of
the headache you've taken on, just hope these help.)
1. Neither yours nor Rand's adequately initializes the multifarous
modes, thus may not cancel previous intended or otherwise
terminal programming.
2. Your version causes our rogue (3.6) to strangle and die during it's
initialization. Rand is ok in this regard.
(I've had this problem before - seemed to have something to do
with vi/ve strings. So I eliminated them. One never wants
unhappy rogue players on one's case!)
3. Both yours and Rand's use underline for vi cursor -
much harder to find than block cursor in text.
4. Rand erases screen on terminal initialization - very bad for logins.
One loses motd, mail, news, bb info.
5. Yours erases vi screen coming out - our users don't like this
or general erase on exit behavior. They like the remains of the
text to be there.
6. Yours causes bold stuff in emacs to come out in reverse video,
and puts cursor in the wrong place on exit.
So, here they are. Thanks for your efforts to keep us all up to date, it is
appreciated by those who end up with some site responsibility for it (!).

Hi Mark -
Still haven't gotten confirmation that one of the mailing addresses is
getting through to you. However, apparently one person connected to
berkeley did get the termcaps, and sent me a note, which I enclose
along with my reply.

Subject: Tek Ambassador Termcap entry: caution
Since I liked the description of your Ambassador changes, I went
ahead and tried a test version of Termcap incorporating the new
version. Unfortunately, they seem to be grossly buggy. The
Ambassador termcap version from Rand (and Berkeley's) worked perfectly
with our local Emacs look-a-like Elle. The Tektronix version does
lots of strange things. For one, it causes the screen to spazz when
the init and cursor addressing initialization strings are sent.
Second, and more serious, it does weird things with control keys! For
example, the command ^N in Elle means go to next line. In the other
Termcap descriptions of the Ambassador this simple command worked
properly in Elle. However, now it merely causes Elle to beep. There
are a number of other control characters that seem to have been
disabled, ^X, ^Z, ^P, etc. I withdrew back to the previous Termcap we
had (Rand's) and all is working properly again.
I recommend caution with this Ambassador description. It seems to have
problems.

Howdy -
Thanks for your comments.
Wonder what the difficulty is? Many programs in regular use here exercise
all the things you've had problems with. In particular, I have a copy of the
CMU-Jim Gosling emacs up here which works fine. We have about 20 Ann Arbors
on line at the moment, no problems.
I'm thinking that the "spazzing" you mention is the important clue.
That's certainly not normal operation.
Such a thing could happen, along with all else you describe, if there was
a comm problem. We once had a port multiplexer here which didn't really like
long full-speed bursts sent through it, for instance. The terminal init
sequence for this termcap is 110 characters long.
I'd like to hear further if you find a cause. And would you please pass this
on to mark? I got a rejection notice from a ucb mailer daemon about the return
address on his original net article, and don't know a sure good one yet.
