Hello all,

I regularly telnet net from a cygwin terminal to a Solaris box, and have never gotten 
vi to respond correctly regardless of what I set my TERM env var to.  I've tried 
vt100, vt220, ansi, and xter.  None seem to work properly.  Lately, I've tried 
grafting cygwin termcap entries from other Unix machines.  I've tried entries from an 
OpenBSD machine and a Linux machine, but captoinfo on Solaris never seems to be able 
to grok the entries.  It complains several times of "Termcap entry is too long" or 
"termcap code is not a valid name".  The resulting terminfo entries using tic on the 
output do a better job than adjusting the TERM env var, but they all have different 
problems.  I'm no termcap guru and couldn't write a valid entry to save my life.  Has 
anyone found or written a complete and correct termcap entry for a cygwin terminal 
type that works on Solaris?

Thanks,
Steve
