decompile term definitions

[Richard Kann]

Anyone know how to decompile terminal definitions in Jbase 3.x/5.x in
windows? I need to modify ANSI. Did it on 3.x a long time ago and
forgot how to get it into a source file to edit. Knowledgebase seems to
be just UNIX commands which do not help me.

On all versions of jBASE for Windows, the file '%JBCRELEASEDIR%\src\jbase_nt.ti' contains the source terminal definitions. After making your changes, use the 'jtic' command to compile it.

If you've made these changes on jBASE 3 then you should be able to just copy the file over to the jBASE 5 system and then 'jtic' it, but I would save the original just in case.

That's the problem. I no longer have the original (after the changes), just the compiled version. Is there something to decompile it?

You'd have to move the compiled definition to a unix system and then run the command 'infocmp' on it, e.g. infocmp ansi

I know of no way to do this directly on Windows.

Does it have to be a Unix system running Jbase? We tried it on a Linux box and it says it needs the terminfo file.

Also any comment on my other email about the logon proc continuing when I try to go to jsh via a ctrl-c? On 3.x dumps the proc stack when you go to jsh, on 5.x it does not. Is that an environmental variable I am missing?

[Daniel Klein]

I can't help you there, as I'm not a Linux maven. It sounds like that system is missing a package, or has not been installed correctly. All I know is that 'infocmp' works on every unix/Linux system that I have access to.

'infocmp' (and the terminfo database it uses) is an OS-level command so it is not dependent on jBASE.

[Richard Kann]

And the PROC issue? See highlight below.

Richard,

If you will attach the ANSI term definition you have compiled, I will run infocmp on it and send you the resultant source.
