Subject: problem running pico

I have pico v2.1 compiled and running on all our rs6000s, except one.  
When you try and execute pico you get the error message: "Unknown 
terminal type vt220!"

The machines are setup alike as far as I know.  Aix version 3.2.0.  
Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?  I even re-compiled pico 
directly on the machine and still get the same error message.  

 -thanks

The problem seems to be that some AIX systems have a rather limited 
/etc/termcap database.  One solution proposed by a number of people 
is to recompile replacing "-ltermcap" with "-lcurses" in the 
makefile.a32.  Alternatively, you can copy an /etc/termcap from a 
machine that has a more complete one.  We are investigating changing 
the default for the next release, but have not decided for certain yet.
