- I posted this recently to comp.sys.mips, but don't have any takers...so
- if anyone has any ideas...(maybe the problem is not RISC/os specific?)
-
- We have just upgraded from RISC/os 4.52 to RISC/os 5.0 and I'm having a
- problem with the terminfo entries.
-
- When I do 'infocmp vt100' I get the following (parts ommited):
- # Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/lib/terminfo/v/vt100
- vt100|vt100-am|dec vt100 (w/advanced video),
- am, mir, msgr, xenl, xon,
- bitwin#255, bitype#255, btns#255, bufsz#255,
- colors#255, cols#80, cps#255, it#8, lh#255, lines#24,
- lm#255, lw#255, ma#255, maddr#255, mcs#255,
- mjump#255, mls#255, ncv#255, nlab#255, npins#255,
- orc#255, orhi#255, orl#255, orvi#255, pairs#255,
- pb#255, spinh#255, spinv#255, vt#3, widcs#255,
- wnum#255, wsl#255, xmc#255,
-
- The 'xmc#255' entry seems incorrect. It should be 0 (not 255), or is there
- some magic significance to 255? (in fact all of the 255's look suspicious)
-
- When I use use tgetnum() and compile with '-systype svr4' it also returns 255.
-
- Any help appreciated.
