The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6

SUMMARY

During installation of FoxPro for UNIX, FoxPro asks if additional terminfo entries should be compiled into the existing terminfo database. Adding these terminfo entries to the database provides additional functionality for specific terminals.

MORE INFORMATION

If you choose Yes to compile additional terminfo entries, FoxPro adds five terminfo entries:

  • ansifox (in /usr/lib/terminfo/a)

    Used on the console or another ansi terminal.

  • wy50fox (in /usr/lib/terminfo/w)

    Used on a Wyse 50 terminal or a terminal emulating a Wyse 50.

  • wy60fox (in /usr/lib/terminfo/w)

    Used on a Wyse 60 terminal or a terminal emulating a Wyse 60 without scan-code mode support.

  • wy60fox-pc (in /usr/lib/terminfo/w)

    Used on a Wyse 60 terminal or a terminal emulating a Wyse 60 with scan-code mode support.

  • wy60-25fox (in /usr/lib/terminfo/w)

    Used on a Wyse 60 terminal or a terminal emulating a Wyse 60 for 25 line support and scan-code mode support.
