SUMMARY
This article describes how to build and set the TERMINFO environment variable.



MORE INFORMATION
To built a TERMINFO entry:  Start Ksh on one computer, and then type:

$ infocmp > Interix.tic

 Move the Interix.tic file to the platform that you want. On the other computer, type:

$ tic Interix.tic

The TERMINFO entries should be created.

If your other computer is already set up, it should place the TERMINFO entries in the proper location. If not, you should see some files in the current folder. These files need to go in the proper locations (for example, /usr/share/terminfo/).

If you do not have tic, you may need to determine whether your computer uses TERMINFO or TERMCAP, and then find the tools that the platform uses to build new TERMINFO entries.
