I have a TeleVideo 965 terminal that I recently took out of the attic and gave to a friend. I remember having a hard time getting it to be useful when I used it several years ago, but I eventually got it to act (mostly) like a glass tty. Being of the generation that grew up using real teletypes, I was willing to be content with that. The young lady I've lent the terminal to is of a different generation: her baseline is an x-terminal. She wants to be able to live in emacs pretty nearly all the time when using the terminal. Hence my questions: The environment is ULTRIX V4.2A (Rev. 47). We haven't been able to find a termcap for the tvi 965 in native mode at all; does anybody out there happen to have one kicking around? Didn't think so. ;^) Okay, the terminal has the following emulations built in. Which of these emulations is going to provide the richest environment for an emacs user? Which am I likely to be able to find a termcap for? WY-60 WY-50/50+ ADM-31 ADDS-A2 DG-200 HZ-1500 TVI-912/920 TVI-910 TVI-925/910+ TVI-950 TVI-955 Thanks for your help, Carl Alexander carl@silver.lcs.mit.edu alexander@pfc.mit.edu
