dosemu cannot be started in xterm

Symptom:

If dosemu is started in a xterm, the following error message appears:

  ERROR: Terminal not powerful enough for SLang.

Cause:

xterm sets the variable TERMCAP to co#80:li#24:. As a result nearly the entire entry for the terminal type xterm is missing in /etc/termcap or /usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm.

Solution:

Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc in your HOME directory:

unset TERMCAP.

If you do not have any ~/.bashrc, you have to create it. Afterwards try starting a xterm in order to call dosemu.
