- Some things that might be important about tcme:
- o Make sure that the environment variable TERM contains "atari" or
- "st" and that the file "termcap" is at \etc\termcap. If it is placed
- somewhere else, assign its full path-name to the TERMCAP environment variable.
- o tcme initializes its screen in the following way: it sets the maximum number of
- lines/columns to the li/co values in the termcap-file. If MiNT is
- installed, tcme asks MiNT about the current screen-window with an Fcntl(
- , , TIOCGWINSZ)-call and sets the initial screen size to these values.
- If the environment variables LINES and COLUMNS exist, the initial screen size
- is set to these values. If it is larger then the maximal number of
- rows/columns, this maximum is raised. In other words: the maximum
- screen is made as large as necessary.
- o tcme knows about MiNT's xkey-feature. Use `xkey' to set the
- escape-sequences for the cursor- and function-keys and then adjust the
- termcap-entry. But if you are running under TOS, tcme needs the
- original termcap-entry!
-
- If tcme does not start correctly, here are some return-values of tcme
- and their possible meaning.
-
- 10 Environment variable TERM not defined!
- What to do: try to enter `setenv TERM st' or `setenv TERM=st' or
- `TERM=st; export TERM' in your shell. (Probably just one of these
- commands will work.
-
- 11 Unknown terminal type!
- What to do: TERM contains a name which is not defined in \etc\termcap.
- Chose defined name.
-
- 12 termcap entry incomplete (lines)
- What is wrong: the li entry in \etc\termcap is missing.
-
- 13 Termcap entry incomplete (columns)
- What is wrong: the co entry in \etc\termcap is missing.
-
- 14 Incomplete termcap entry
- Some other important entries are missing
-
- 15 Terminal description too big!
- What is wrong: your terminal must be very complicated :-)
