Hi,
My question was :
I have two Digital workstations, the first running Digital
UNIX V4.0B the second running Digital UNIX V3.2. When I try
to rlogin from the first machine to the second I get the
following message :
Never heard of terminal type "dtterm".
Terminal type (default=vt100)?
- CUT - CUT - CUT - CUT - CUT -CUT - CUT - CUT - CUT - CUT -
I know I should add the terminal info to the terminfo
directory, but I don't know how to do this (The books
I have at hand only give vague hints on how to
achieve this).
The question is : What should I do that
- the system doesn't ask me what type of terminal I am using
- programs such as vi and pine will work fine
Can this be done without changing the terminfo directory? If not
how do I get the info from the termcap file into the
terminfo directory?
The answers were :
- use xterm or dxterm
- set your terminal to vt100
I didn't receive any messages on how to add the ddterm
info to the terminfo directory. Apparently this is not an
easy thing to do.
I don't know if this is possible, but since vim can get
the correct terminal information from the termcap file,
I wonder if I can somehow tell vi to look for this
information there as well (instead of in the terminfo
directory). Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.
