- GENERAL
-
- Qterm is a program that queries terminals to find out what kind of
- terminal is responding. It is useful to automagically define your
- terminal type. It prints the name of the terminal (compatible,
- hopefully, with a termcap/terminfo name) such as "vt100" to standard
- output. See the manual for details.
-
- The major changes between version 6.0 and 5.0 include support for
- finding the real name of a terminal by using multiple queries, support
- for POSIX compliant systems, and a major code cleanup. The format of
- qtermtab has changed to support the multiple queries code as well as
- future additions. The old style qtermtab file is still supported.
- See the ChangeLog file for more details.
-
- PLATFORMS
-
- Qterm should run on most 4.X BSD and System V based operating systems.
- It is known to run on the following platforms:
-
- HARDWARE OPERATING SYSTEM
- Alliant FX/80, FX/2800 Concentrix 3.X, 5.X
- DEC MIPS Ultrix 4.2
- HP9000 3x0, 4x0, 7x0 HP-UX 8.1, 9.0
- IBM RS6000 AIX 3.2
- NeXT NeXTStep 2.1
- Sun-3, Sun-4, Sun386i SunOS 4.0.3, 4.1.X, 5.X
-
- If you have Internet access, the latest and greatest version of qterm
- is available from "usc.edu" via anonymous ftp in the file
- "/pub/qterm/qterm.tar.z". I update this file whenever there are any
- changes, so it's bound to be newer than a copy from any other source.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- 1) Edit "Makefile" and change the definetions for DIR, BIN, MAN,
- and TABFILE as appropriate for your site.
-
- 2) Run the appropriate make command for your system as documented
- at the top of "Makefile". Running "make" should work on most
- 4.X BSD systems.
-
- 3) Run "make install install.man" to install everything.
