Re: Cygwin termcap entry for SunOS


Hello all,

I'm gaining experience in terminal emulation  but haven't solved the problem yet.  Here's my latest experiment:

On an NT cygwin terminal running the bash shell I execute the following:

$ infocmp -rC cygwin > termcap.cygwin.cygwin

I transfer the file to my Sun machine.  On the Sun machine I execute the following:

% setenv TERMINFO $HOME/terminfo
% captoinfo termcap.cygwin.cygwin > terminfo.src
% tic

I telnet to the Sun machine from a cygwin terminal running the bash shell and execute the following:

% setenv TERMINFO $HOME/terminfo
% setenv TERM cygwin
% vi .login

At this point I can cursor off the end of a line at which point all kinds of crazy things happen.  Why didn't this work?  Where is the problem most likely to be?  How do I troubleshoot?  How do I go about finding a solution?  Does anyone have any insight?

Thanks,
Steve
