hello, a bit lost on this one - I'm using zterm on a mac powerbook as a
serial terminal for an IPC,
everything seems to work fine, but the powerbook has no function keys, and
zterm only supports
character substitution for file transfers.
Ideally I'd like the sparc to output F1 when zterm sends control-1 and etc,
but I can't find anything
in the howtos. I first tried changing the sparcs keymap, though it dawned on
me that this had
nothing to do with serial terminals, only keyboards directly connected...and
it didn't work.
Next I tried to understand the terminfo database but got confused - the
terminfo manpage
discussed a human readable format which I felt I could work with easily, but
the actual files on my
system(I was hoping to modify vt100) seemed to be in some kind of binary
format
(compiled in some way?).
Am I just missing the knowledge on how to compile a database entry? and if
so, where are the human readable 'source' files I can hack? and how is the
compilation done?
Or am I totally going the wrong way here?
many thanks to anyone who answers - really stuck here.
cheers - Chris db
