- One tool that might help is infocmp. It will (almost) create a termcap
- file from a compiled terminfo one. I've compiled and run it successfully
- under AIX.
-
- The source code to infocmp is available from the AT&T Software Toolchest
- for a modest charge -- it cost me $50.00 plus a small UUCP transmission
- fee. You can get more information on the toolchest at 1-800-828-8649.
- There is also a toolchest dialup system at 1-908-522-6900. The courtesy
- login is "guest". As I vaguely recall, it's 2400 baud, even parity,
- 1 start/stop bit, but I can't find those parameters described in the
- information I have at hand.
