Looking for DG DASH termcap entries for JSB MultiView

Since JSB make a version of MultiView for the DG platform (AIX I
believe?), there must be people out there working with DASH
terminals in MultiView.  I hope so.

I have a client running an application that has been ported from
the DG mini environment, which makes extensive use of the 68
flavors of function keys you can get when you start adding
<shift>, <control> and <shift> + <control>.  They have several
PCs running a terminal emulation program called Pereline, which
offers two Data General DASH terminal types.

This all works fine, but I would like to configure these PCs to
run under JSB MultiView and don't relish the idea of building a
mvw_termcap entry for a DG terminal from scratch.  I am looking
for any good 200, 300 or 400 series DASH model termcap entries
that define the special MultiView sequences.  Since I don't have
a programmer's manual for any DG terminals, my ability to tune
any termcap file received is very limited.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
