Date: Sun 23-Dec-1988 03:10:08 From: Unknown Subject: Re: NeXT machines are here: my current bug list The TERMPATH environment variable appeared in post 4.3 BSD systems, and probably first saw the light of day in the 4.3 BSD-tahoe release. It is real handly; it allows you to specify a path of termcap files. For instance, mine looks like: TERMPATH=$HOME/mytermcap:/etc/termcap I can have my private TERMCAP, still have access to all of the stuff in the system termcap. The .cshrc sets up TERMPATH, then invokes tset to set TERM and the TERMCAP environment variables once its picked a terminal type. On another topic: anyone figured out how to make the NeXT use the domain name system without the yellow pages stuff? If I was real clever and had documentation, I could rebuild the shared libc.a and replace gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr(); of course this depends upon the applications *using* the shared libc.a.
