I am trying to get tcsh to run under AIX version 3. I am compiling with the
BSD compatible libraries and defining things BSDish but when I run the shell
input is all messed up. I type in the command ls and have to press return 
several times to get the command to appear and execute.

Also commands such as more don't behave properly. When such a command is used
it is sent signal 22 (TTOU) and is stopped. This occurs with several other
output commands but some work occasionaly such as cat.

I tried compiling with System V flags set and a combination of the BSD and
System V flags but nothing produces a good result. Under System V the output
from commands such as ls is all messed up with linefeeds not interpreted 
properly. Basically everything is messed up.

I would appreciate any information about AIX specifics that need to be taken
care of or if anyone has done this already some pointers in the right direction.

Thanks in advance
