Modified terminfo, curses complains.
I've made a copy of the .ti file (ba80-08w.ti) and changed the cols and lines from 80,24 to 140,32. Then used tic to compile it.
Most programs work fine but curses programs exit with "Sorry, I need to know a more specific terminal type than "ba80-08w"."
cscope exits with "Error opening terminal: ba80-08w."
What have I done wrong?

Re: Modified terminfo, curses complains.
Are they using (unimproved) termcap instead
of (improved) terminfo?

I don't think so. There is no termcap for the (working OK) ba80-08 term either, as I brought its terminfo across when migrating from an old nixdorf unix box.

Re: Modified terminfo, curses complains.
tic does not care about the filename.
It creates entries based on the names
in the first line of the entry, separated
by "|" characters.

Re: Modified terminfo, curses complains.
No, I did change the term name in the first line.
It seems that the problem is not with the changes I made. Recompiling the original unchanged ba80-08.ti file also produces a broken binary.
I have had to recover the original binary from a backup and use untic to get a good ba80-08.ti. After this my changes work fine.
strange, because infocmp says that the good and bad binaries are identicle in functionality.
