linux termcap problem solved

[jimsvoboda]

I was hoping that with this release that some changes would have been made to the linux console termcap entry so i wouldn't have to modify it again this time, but the same old one from 1999 showed up again.  It has the problem of not displaying graphic lines on menus and screens properly, resulting in distorted strange looking and unusable menus and screens.  I had been modifying the G1 to GZ termcap entries to  display the character values -, |, and + instead of graphic lines.   However, today I stumbled on a better solution.  From time to time I use putty to access filepro.  Putty emulates xterm and the filepro menus and screens display properly.  I tried setting PFTERM to xterm on a linux console and it displayed properly so I modified the filepro termcap linux entry to conform to the xterm entry.  To fix the filepro termcap linux entry, I replaced the following four lines in the filepro termcap linux entry:

        :GS=\E[12m:GE=\E[10m:\
        :GV=\263:GH=\304:\
        :G1=\277:G2=\332:G3=\300:G4=\331:GZ=\376:\
        :GU=\301:GD=\302:GC=\305:GR=\303:GL=\264:RT=^J:\

with the following lines form the filepro termcap xterm entry:
        :GS=\E(0:GE=\E(B:\
        :GV=x:GH=q:G1=k:G2=l:G3=m:G4=j:GZ=:\
        :GU=v:GD=w:GC=n:GR=t:GL=u:RT=^J:\

By the way, this linux filepro is running on 64 bit opensuse linux version 10.2, but I have had filepro termcap problems back to version 9.
