I have the reverse problem.
I'm using a termcap entry for a WYSE-85 terminal
that runs fine on the SUN (running BSD Unix).
I now need to use this terminal (from home) to access an IBM-RT PC
that runs AIX version 2.2. I understand AIX requires a "terminfo" file.
Are there any ground rules to convert a
termcap entry ===> terminfo entry ??
I have never written a termcap (nor a terminfo) in my life, so doing this
conversion by myself will be a formidable task. However, if there are
any pointers which any of the AIX/IBM-RT "gurus" out there
can give me, that would greatly ease the pain.
Is there a program that can convert a tercap file to a terminfo file ??
That would be a boon from heaven !!
Do reply to me directly by e-mail. I'll later post a summary.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Umesh
