I left NEW_TTY_DRIVER defined in jobs.c, but not in readline/readline.c. To compile, I used bsdcc, which, among other things, defines _BSD and _BSD_INCLUDES, and links with the bsd library. All of the other terminal-based functions like line editing work as advertised. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks. ---Jon Maiara kaboom@media-lab.mit.edu
