I am having trouble in two areas: 1) the terminal modes are set by a system() call - the BSD version does a system("stty -cbreak -echo"). Xenix doesn't have cbreak. The closest I have so far got it to working was to do a "stty -icanon -echo" but this only updates the screen every fourth character, though it does retain all the characters typed. However, upon exit, doing "stty sane echoe" leaves the terminal in screwey mode (no echo, ignore 3 of 4 whitespaces...) Any thoughts on this one world? Is there maybe a Sys5 version of vcal around? Is the one from eddie.mit.edu really old or something? Thanks! 2) Upon exit, the program gets an error trying to write (null) file - is there a directory that doesn't exist under Sys5 that does exist by default under BSD where calendar files might go? Thanks for all help!
