- Ladees and Germs,
- Hi. I have a bit of a problem: it used to be, in the days of yore, that
- when I ran my terminal emulator on my UNIX machine, I could do something
- nonstandard like:
-
- stty rows 27
- tset
-
- for my vt100 emulator, and on that 27-line emulator, it would work! Even
- though the termcap file specifies that the vt100 has 24 lines. Now, however,
- when I do this on the Sun Sparc running 4.1.x, the Sun insists on setting
- the terminal to 24 lines. I guess it's because it's now using terminfo
- instead. Well, how do I get it to believe that I have a 27-line vt100?
- Make another terminfo entry (yuck!)?
- Thanks!
- -Mike
