Well, Oracle no longer supports Forms 3.0, period, but to claim that they don't support the terminal emulator is ridiculous. First make sure that your emulator does a good job of emulating a VT-220. If it does, then Oracle's resource files for VT-220 should work fine - they do for us. Make sure that you have TERM=vt220. If this doesn't work, it is time to start fiddling with the resource files. You might start by making a backup copy of oraterm.r and copying one of the *vt220*.r files to oraterm.r. If this doesn't help, write back. Received on Thu Jun 06 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
