Try captoinfo(8). This is a standard unix utility. If you want > to go the other way (Terminfo to Termcap), use infocmp(8). captoinfo isn't available on all systems. If you don't have it, try looking for tctoti, a public domain version which is available (I think) on ftp.uu.net. Note that neither program is perfect: they both tend to need some help with even slightly complicated string definitions. -Linda -- Linda Mui lmui@ora.com UUCP: ...uunet!ora.com!lmui O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. - Publishers of Nutshell and X Books 90 Sherman St. / Cambridge, MA 02140 / 617-354-5800 / FAX: 617-661-1116
