However, use mine instead.. I have the reverse problem. I'm using a termcap entry for a WYSE-85 terminal that runs fine on the SUN (running BSD Unix). I now need to use this terminal (from home) to access an IBM-RT PC that runs AIX version 2.2. I understand AIX requires a "terminfo" file. Are there any ground rules to convert a termcap entry ===> terminfo entry ?? I have never written a termcap (nor a terminfo) in my life, so doing this conversion by myself will be a formidable task. However, if there are any pointers which any of the AIX/IBM-RT "gurus" out there can give me, that would greatly ease the pain. Is there a program that can convert a tercap file to a terminfo file ?? That would be a boon from heaven !! Do reply to me directly by e-mail. I'll later post a summary. Thanks a lot in advance, Umesh
