Re: [TUHS] TERM for v8

I had a similar issue with BSD 2.11. So, I hope this helps. You can use vt100. However, make sure your baud rate is 9600. stty 9600 (SIMH makes the virtual adjustment so you don't need to worry about SIMH settings.) I am using BSD 2.11 on a Mac with SIMH. I noticed the console port would have a short window. But, logging into dz ports were fine. Setting the console baud rate to match the dz11 settings fixed the issue. So, I suspect either a setting in vi that changes the window size on slow devices or it's hard coded somewhere. I will take a look.

If I set it to vt52, vt100, or vt132, only 8 lines appear at the bottom of the terminal window (of about 24 lines): --- root::0:4:m0130,m322:/: daemon:x:1:1:m0000,m000:/: sys:sorry:2:1:m0130,m322:/usr/sys:no-login bin:sorry:3:4:m0130,m322:/bin: ken:sorry:6:1:m0130,m322:/usr/ken: dmr:sorry:7:4:mh1092,m069:/usr/dmr: nuucp::238:1:mh2019,m285,uucp:/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/uucico uucp::48:1:mh2019,m285,nowitz:/usr/lib/uucp: "passwd" 20 lines, 770 characters ---- The 8 line window works about like I'd expect - the arrow keys move up and down until the screen needs to scroll, then B's and A's show up. I'm used to that on BSD. Using the j and k keys work better and when I scroll down enough lines, the lines move up to fill the whole terminal window and the file can be edited in the full window. Is there a better TERM setting that will get 24 lines to show up on file open? Thanks, Will -- GPG Fingerprint: 68F4 B3BD 1730 555A 4462 7D45 3EAA 5B6D A982 BAAF
