- I've got vmunix.531 running, the one, which knows how to handle an
- A2000 RTC, with usrsbin.tgz and usrbin.tgz installed. Quite nice, but
- I cannot use vi nor more. I do not like vi, but it's beautiful
- compared to ed and sed for editing /etc/passwd.
- The bad thing is: vi can't read /etc/termcap :-( which means,
- that vi does not edit anything. Actually it quits as soon
- as it find's out, that it can't read /etc/termcap.
-
- I found out, that /etc/termcap usually is a symbolic link
- to /usr/share/.../termcap.src which I did not install.
- "Ok" I thought "let me copy a real termcap from a real
- UN*X machine." That's what I did and afterwards I had
- a long termcap file and no symbolic link any more.
- A 'ls -l /etc/termcap' yields
- -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 133439 Aug 1 22:00 /etc/termcap
- which seems to be ok. At least that's ok to me.
- But 'vi' does'n agree. Neither does 'more'.
- 'cat' does. And all other programs do.
- Weird.
-
- I'd like to edit /etc/fstab, /etc/passwd, /etc/group etc., but I
- cannot use ed. And as Emacs uses /etc/termcap, I guess emacs won't
- work either.
-
- Why does vi not work? What is wrong with /etc/termcap?
