While we're on the subject of TIOCSTI under SunOS 4.x.... I find that using TIOCSTI to push back the literal-next character is broken. On real Berkeley, doing this does what one would expect: the next character typed is literal-nexted. On SunOS 3.5, it works the same way. But under releases 4.0.3, 4.1, and 4.1.1, at least, doing this causes the pushed-back literal-next to quote itself somehow, rather than quoting the next character typed. Anybody have any idea when Sun will fix this? And in the meantime, anybody have any idea what I might be able to do as a workaround? Losing literal-next is a major pain. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
