Does anyone know if there is an "official" terminfo file for syncterm?

Most (if not all) systems don't have one by default, which causes
programs to fail when executing them using SyncTERM. I've solved this in
the past by copying another terminfo file and naming it syncterm. Today,
I tried using what I thought was the "official" terminfo file for the
project, but it seems to be slightly off, as when I run programs in
SyncTERM, some of the rows and things are slightly broken (though it
mostly works).

cd /tmp
wget https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/termcap
-O /tmp/syncterm_terminfo
sed -i 's/ansi-bbs/syncterm/' /tmp/syncterm_terminfo
tic -s syncterm_terminfo

Is there a better terminfo file to use that will make SyncTERM work
properly?

Thanks!

This is a question best asked of the SyncTERM project owner (Deuce) who doesn't regularly read message bases. You can find him in #synchronet at irc.synchro.net much of the time or post an issue/question to syncterm.sf.net.

Thanks, do you know if syncterm.sf.net is still active? It seems to
redirect to syncterm.bbsdev.net now (not sure what was there before),
and I'm not seeing a way to post questions anywhere there...

glad he left the toggle in for the under construction version.
new one looks like a mystic bbs theme.
