Correcting file permissions so various POSIX programs will work on the HP3000

As shipped, there are many file permission problems with files in the HFS directory (including many of the terminal configuration -terminfo- files required by various interactive applications.. like Lynx for one example. Also 'vi'. You might get error messages such as:

Unknown terminal "hp2392a".

To correct these;

  :hello manager.sys
  :xeq sh.hpbin.sys -L
  cd /usr/lib/terminfo/h
  chmod 555 *

--GilesSchipper^?

Or perhaps more precisely;

As MANAGER.SYS enter the shell (have HPPXUDC.PUB.SYS set as the local UDC file!)

cd /usr/lib/terminfo

chmod +r *

cd h

chmod +r *
