I do not find this file in 4.2BSD or in SysV release 2 > (for the 3b2, including the terminfo package). When we got our 3B2's we had the same problem. To solve it, I sat down and wrote a filter that converted termcap files to terminfo files. I posted the program to net.sources quite some time ago and, if I get enough requests, I'll post it again (hopefully to mod.sources, where it'll be archived for anyone who misses it this time). robert -- Robert Viduya 01111000 Office of Computing Services Georgia Institute of Technology UUCP: {akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!robert {rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!robert BITNET: CC100RV @ GITVM1
