I don't know what dtterm is, but from context it sounds like a terminfo or termcap setting. If that is correct, use infocmp to dump it on the SPARC-IPC, transfer the result to the Linux machine; then use tic to compile it into Linux's terminfo database. Use similar methods to transfer the termcap settings. If you want it to go into future Debian releases, send the results to the maintainer of the appropriate package; no doubt he will be grateful. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 Unsolicited email advertisements are not welcome; any person sending such will be invoiced for telephone time used in downloading together with a £25 administration charge. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
