aixterm termcap for Solaris 2.6?

Roger Fuji <rmf@lookhere.com> sent me this solution to this problem:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

termcap probably isn't the way to go. Terminfo is better.

1) log into the aix system.

2) type "infocmp aixterm". infocmp is the terminfo decompiler.

If infocmp is not available on aix, look at untic from

comp.sources.unix archive, volume #5

3) copy the output to a solaris file.

4) type "tic file_you_put_aixterm_terminfo_in"

-r
