Hi,
I asked for a way to import a definition of the HP/UX "hpterm" entry into a
SunOS 4.1.3 termcap file.
By far the best solution is to use the infocmp -C command to export a
termcap ready definition of hpterm from the terminfo database.
Here ios a summary of the replies I received. Thanks to all concerned.

Below, you'll find definitions for an hpterm, and a hp700/92 series.
Hope this helps.

The 'infocmp -C' command will convert terminfo to termcap. There are some limitations (see the infocmp(8) man page). ---- From: glenn@uniq.com.au (Glenn Satchell - Uniq Professional Services)
You need to use infocmp(8V), the -C option does exactly what you want. ---- From: Dan Stromberg - OAC-DCS <strombrg@hydra.acs.uci.edu>
There is a number of ways, one is sun infocmp:
It can also convert a terminfo entry to a termcap(5) entry; the -C flag causes infocmp to perform this conversion. Some termcap variables are not supported by terminfo, but those that can be derived from terminfo variables are displayed. Not all terminfo capabilities are translated either; only those that are allowed in a termcap entry are normally displayed. Specifying the -r option eliminates this res- triction, allowing all capabilities to be displayed in termcap form. ---- From: pluta@cgc9.eda.mke.ab.com (Rick Pluta)
We ran into the same problem when trying to login to out HP system from a Sun. I don't think you need to start with terminfo on the HP. We took the termcap entries for "hp" and "hpsub" from the file /etc/termcap on the HP and copied them to the Sun file /usr/share/lib/termcap. We also renamed the "hp" entry to "hpterm" on the Sun. This works for SunOS 4.1.X machines.
For our SunOS 5.X machines, we copied the terminfo file /usr/lib/terminfo/h/hpterm from the HP to /usr/share/lib/terminfo/h/hpterm on the Suns. This also seems to work. ---- From: "Richard.Hellier" <rlh@cppuk.co.uk>
The hpterm termcap entry I use is listed at the end. A point, tho'
are you sure you want termcap and not terminfo (for the latter you can just copy across the "hpterm" entry from the HP's terminfo/h directory to the SUN's. Things like tset seem to need termcap, though, so its best to have both! ----------------- h0|hpsub|hpterm|hp terminals -- capability subset:\ :if=/usr/lib/tabset/stdcrt:\ :al=\EL:am:bs:\ :cd=\EJ:ce=\EK:ch=\E&a%dC:cl=\EH\EJ:\ :co#80:da:db:dc=\EP:dl=\EM:do=\EB:ei=\ER:\ :kb=^H:kd=\EB:kh=\Eh:kl=\ED:kr=\EC:ku=\EA:\ :ke=\E&s0A:ks=\E&s1A:\ :li#24:mi:nd=\EC:pt:\ :se=\E&d@:so=\E&dB:\ :up=\EA:xs:\ :cm=\E&a%dy%dC:cv=\E&a%dY:\ :im=\EQ:ml=\El:mu=\Em:\ :ue=\E&d@:us=\E&dD:\ :bt=\Ei: ---- From: markh@analogy.com (Mark Holm)
Just use the "hp" definition and resize to get the appropriate size attached. That's how we do it here. It's actually just as easy to trap in your login scripts and change hpterm to hp. We have the same problem with sun-cmd vs. sun everywhere else. ---- From: Peter Farmer <Peter.Farmer@cs.anu.edu.au>
