I really don't want to sidetrack some of these exchanges about keyboard
standards, UNIX sources, etc., but I _really_ have to ask about some
terminfo information.

Does anyone have the terminfo entries for a Datapoint 3600 terminal?
I requested some literature directly from the company itself, but they
don't send any tech-spex to anyone other than Datapoint employees. HELP!!!

If anyone has either a termcaps-like profile of the terminal, or a listing
of what control codes do what, please let me know by mail or through the
net. Even better, a schematic that I'd be willing to buy (Yes indeed!).

Incidentally, I wonder what happens if you buy a terminal and need some
technical info when it breaks down. If only Datapoint employees are
allowed to get info on a terminal that's practically a dinosaur (no high-
tech secrets to protect there), what does one do? Junk the bloody thing???

Thanx to all who can help me...
