A/UX: terminfo Decompiler (11/94)


Is there a terminal description decompiler available for terminfo?

I need to add a new terminal description for terminfo that is similar to what is already in the database. Is there a decompiler that will allow me to make small changes to an existing terminal type, without having to deduce the entire set of operating parameters?

Public domain software called "untic" can "decompile" a terminfo description file. The README file and untic.1 manual page provide more information.

You can find public domain software from the usual sources, such as user groups.
