- I use the 95 to log onto UNIX boxes at home and at work and I run full
- screen applications like trn (news reader) and vi.
-
- Since the UNIXs that I use are system V based, I use terminfo files rather
- than termcap files. All I did was copy the vt100 terminfo entry to
- hp95lx.ti, change the line length to 40 (cols#40), changed the number
- of lines per screen to 16 (lines#16), and recompiled the entry with tic.
- I can send you the terminfo entry if it would help.
