Recently installed mon and top. About 10 minutes later, a user who
likes 132 column mode of VT100 compatible terminal reports core dumps.
Not really wanting to dive into hacking at that moment, came up with
this trick:
faketerm
--------
#! /bin/sh
TERM=$1 TERMCAP=/etc/termcap $*
--------
usage: faketerm <new-term-type> command line
In this particular instance:
faketerm vt100 top
seems to work. Ugly, but cheap. No warranties, expressed or implied...
