Need terminfo entries for non-DEC terminals

Hello Managers,

Our site is converting from a DECstation 5000 running Ultrix to an
AlphaServer 1000 running Digital Unix 3.2d. I notice that the
/usr/share/lib/terminfo library of terminal capability files that
comes with Digital UNIX includes entries ONLY for the DEC vtxxx series
of terminals, plus "ansi" standard and "xterm". We still have old
Televideo, Wyse, and other brands of terminals in use. Does anyone
have a more complete set of terminfo entries (source form preferred;
I will compile them with tic myself)? Alternatively, does anyone
know of a program to convert old "termcap" style entries to "terminfo"
style? We have everything we need defined in termcap on Ultrix,
but Digital UNIX programs (such as "vi" and "more") seem to use
terminfo exclusively.

Thanks,

Phil Farrell, Computer Systems Manager
