Introduction
QTermTM
is a program that queries terminals to find out what kind of
terminal is responding. It is useful to automagically define your
terminal type. It prints the name of the terminal (compatible,
hopefully, with a termcap/terminfo name) such as "vt100" to standard
output.
Typically you call QTerm during each login.
For csh(1) users, you add an entry to your .login file:
setenv TERM `qterm`
For sh(1) shell users, you add an entry to your .profile file:
TERM=`qterm`
export TERM
Supported Platforms
QTerm should work on most all versions of POSIX compliant UNIX
platforms.

Installation
- Follow the instructions to
Download and unpack
a distribution. You can
either download complete source and build (compile) from scratch, or you
can choose to download a precompiled (binary) distribution.
Use the binary
distributions if
there is one available for your platform and the default path to the
qtermtab
file
(/var/local/conf/qtermtab.v6) is acceptable.
You must download the source and compile otherwise.
- If compiling from source:
-
Edit "Makefile" and change the definetions for DIR,
BIN, MAN,
and TABFILE as appropriate for your site.
- Choose the appropriate make command for your system
from the following and run that command:
| OS | make Command |
| SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) | make |
| SunOS 5.x (Solaris 2.x) | make svr4 |
| HP-UX | make sysv |
| IRIX | make svr4 |
| AIX | make svr4 |
| Linux | make linux |
| System V Release 4 based | make svr4 |

Year 2000 Status
No version of QTerm is known to have any Year 2000 problems.
There is virtually no date related code in
QTerm and the little that exists doesn't deal with parsing date
strings such as MM/DD/YY.
Having said that, we must emphasize
that we do not provide any kind of warranty or guarentee.
