Message-ID: Date: 25 Sep 90 17:21:14 GMT References: <1990Sep24.182914@Pkg.Mcc.COM> Sender: news@helens.Stanford.EDU Organization: Stanford University Lines: 19 In-reply-to: harp@Pkg.Mcc.COM's message of 24 Sep 90 23:29:14 GMT The problem is with tty process groups. xterm/main.c is a minefield. I've found the same problem on Sun-3's under SunOS 4.0.3 and Vaxen under Ultrix V3.0. It works fine on Sun-4's under SunOS 4.1. Color xterm also works under IRIX 3.3 on SGI machines, but you need to add a flag to the Imakefile to turn on some code in main.c to workaround a kernel bug. I've made this change to the Imakefile in the version on fresnel.stanford.edu in pub/4DX, but the workaround only applies to IRIX, and may not be necessary under 3.3.1 I don't know about other arch's and OS's.
