All,
Having been trying to work out why things like 'hack' refused to run, giving
an error along the lines of "terminal can not backspace" Ive found and fixed
a small omission in the termcap db :)
Basically Ive done:
cd /usr/share/misc
vi termcap
in the entries for pure 'vt220' (the consoles) and 'xterm' (xterms :), add the
following parameter (See 'man 5 termcap' for details btw):
bs
Save the file, then do:
cap_mkdb -v termcap
It should complain about all sorts of duplicate termcap entries (ignore it :)
but when do you can do:
tset
and now 'hack' et al work again :)
Paul
