1afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 2afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes<< 12 May 1983 >> 3afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesTo install this directory on your system: 4afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 5afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesFirst determine a list of "common terminals" for your system. This list 6afe61c15SRodney W. Grimeswill probably be small, and can be empty if you like, but you should 7afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesprobably put your own terminal in it. 8afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 9afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesSecond, edit the editor script "reorder" to use this list instead of the 10afe61c15SRodney W. Grimeslist built in to it. The changes will be evident from looking at the 11afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesscript. Notice that the script contains the terminals in order from least 12afe61c15SRodney W. Grimescommon to most common, since the move commands will move them to the front 13afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesin that order, the effect will be to put the most common at the front of 14afe61c15SRodney W. Grimestermcap since that's moved last. The s.* terminals are specials, and 15afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesalthough they don't have to go to the front, they are probably quite 16afe61c15SRodney W. Grimescommon and really should go near the front. 17afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 18afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesThird, if you are not a super user and cannot create the directory 19afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes/usr/lib/tabset, make a corresponding directory somewhere you can and add 20afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesa line to reorder to globally change all /usr/lib/tabset's to your own 21*1db9ecffSEnji Cooperpath name. This change is better than just changing the termcap file 22afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesbecause it makes it easier to diff it from newer distributed versions. 23afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesTry to keep the source as is whenever possible, and put mungings into 24afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesreorder. 25afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 26afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesNow you can run "make install" which will create an /etc/termcap. Again, 27afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesif you aren't a super user change the cp command to put it where you can. 28afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesIn this case you will have to redefine E_TERMCAP in "local/uparm.h", which 29afe61c15SRodney W. Grimeswill probably be in subdirectories with the other UCB software. 30afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 31afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 32afe61c15SRodney W. GrimesFinally, if you make additions or fixes to termcap, please mail a note 33afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesexplaining what you did with the fixed termcap entry (not the whole file, 34afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesplease!) to me at one of the addresses below, so it can be incorporated 35afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesback into the original source. I will normally include anything unless 36afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesthere is a good reason not to, but I reserve the right to redo it differently. 37afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 38afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes uunet!ucbvax!termcap (uucp) 39afe61c15SRodney W.

GrimesIt is probably easiest to make local termcap changes in separate 43afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesfiles, eg /usr/local/etc/termcap, and encourage people to put 44afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 45afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes setenv TERMPATH ~/.termcap:/usr/local/etc/termcap:/etc/termcap 46afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 47afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesin their shell startup files. This way local system-wide changes can be 48afe61c15SRodney W. Grimesisolated in /usr/local/etc/termcap and user changes in ~/.termcap, all 49afe61c15SRodney W. Grimeswithout consuming lots of disk or requiring re-integration of local 50afe61c15SRodney W. Grimeschanges when system termcap files change. 51afe61c15SRodney W. Grimes 52afe61c15SRodney W.
