First off let me say that it does compile ok on a SPARC station IPC, running SunOS 4.1, but when I tried it on another SPARC running 4.0.? I encountered the problems you mentioned. I did persuade it to compile using the GNU C compiler, although it involved copying stdlib.h from the first system, adding a type cast somewhere and changing the names of some of the include files. So far so good and when you run the executable, up pops the familiar display. Unfortunately, it totally refuses to recognise the key, so you can't enter any text!! Z works fine, so you can exit, and if you edit a file already containing text, you can insert more, etc., but just doesn't work... Also, if you invoke the program with no command line argument, causing it to prompt you for a file name to edit, you can type in the name, but is ignored at the end of it and you just get stuck. Anyone have any clues about what is going on? Maybe I should just create an absolute binary executable on the IPC, which ought to run on the othrer SPARC. (With the normal executable the run time link library has the wrong version and it bombs out.)
