Here is the description how to port the new TASS 3.2 to Coherent.
When I first tried to port it from MINIX it was more difficult. But
now it is so easy you can add the changes by editing the 4 files:

Makefile:

CFLAGS= -DCOHERENT
LIBS= -lterm -lndir
fixstack 1000 tass

curses.c:

use that of TASS 3.0/Coherent, rename Clr2Eoln ()  to CleartoEOLN

or the new one:

Replace wherever sgtty is used

#ifdef BSD     by  #ifdef COHERENT      (with termio keyboard didn't work)

main.c:

at the end of the file there is system-call replacement for mkdir.
replace #ifdef M_XENIX  by  #ifdef COHERENT

mail.c:

add  #define  off_t  long

That is all folks. Who now couldn't get TASS 3.2 compiled will be punished
by selling his Coherent. 

Have fun with TASS, 

Joachim

PS: Remember: I did not write TASS, I still added this five lines.
So you should mail a "Thank you" to the author if you like the program:
