- This is getting to be a FAQ... The problem has to do with the vt100 using
- tabs to position the cursor. You can either:
-
- 1) get the latest version of compak2.dll, which fixes the problem (download
- TE/2 again; the new dll was inserted into the TE/2 archive),
-
- or
-
- 2) run stty -tabs in your unix system to tell it not to use tabs to
- position the cursor.
