- Thanks to all those who replied.
-
- The method I used to solve this problem was to copy the SGI
- files /usr/lib/terminfo/i/iris* to /usr/lib/terminfo/i on the Sun,
- then run '/usr/5bin/infocmp -Cr' on each of these to create termcap
- descriptions for /etc/termcap. This appears to work just fine.
-
- Another suggestion was to generate the termcap description
- files on the SGI, convert them to terminfo descriptions on the Sun
- using captoinfo, then compile the resulting terminfo descriptions
- using tic. As file(1) reports that the binary files from the SGI are
- of the type "Compiled Terminfo Entry", this seemed unnecessary.
