Subject:  -101- How can I make my SGI understand strange terminal types
                from other Unix systems?

  If the other system uses terminfo, use 'infocmp -I whatever > file' to
  extract the terminfo entry for the terminal. Transfer the file to your
  SGI and do 'tic file' (as root) to put the entry into the terminfo
  database.

  If the other system uses termcap, snip the termcap entry out of
  /etc/termcap (or wherever) with an editor, transfer it to your SGI
  and (as root) do 'captoinfo file > newfile' and 'tic newfile'.

  See also the infocmp(1), captoinfo(1), tic(1) and terminfo(4)
  manpages, and make sure you've installed eoe2.sw.terminf, which
  contains all of the programs.
