Subject: Cygwin termcap entry for Solaris

Hello all,

I use cygwin on my NT box and regularly try to telnet to Sun machines running Solaris.  I have not gotten vi to format or edit files correctly regardles of what I set TERM to.  I've tried vt100, vt200, xterm, and ansi.  None seem to work.  Lately I've been trying to graft termcap entries from other machines.  I've tried entries from an OpenBSD machine and a Linux machine, but Solaris's version of captoinfo never seems to be able to grok those entries reporting, "Termcap entry too long" or "Obsolete code removed" etc.  The resulting terminfo entries after using tic on the output seems to produce better results, but they invariably have problems.  Has anyone come up with a proper and complete termcap entry for a cygwin terminal that works on Solaris?  I'm no terminal wizard and wouldn't know how to write one myself to save my life.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Steve
