The screw-up is that certain operations do not >work right on ptys. Yeah, like what "certain operations" don't work right on pty's ? I guess setting the baudrate probably doesn't make too much sense :-). By now (Bsd 4.3) everything that needs to work will work on pty's. If it didn't, we'd be up the sh*t creek here, because we have several machines that don't even have any real terminals hooked up. All the connections on these machines come in from the network through pty's. Everything people usually do works fine, vi, curses ... etc. I also like the way 4.3 handles window changes. The last time I ran layers with rlogin under Sys V, it didn't work too well ! In general 4.3 deals with tty's alot better than Sys V (with streams or without). -- /* Ingo Cyliax * * ...!ihnp4!pur-ee!cyliax ECN, Electrical Engineering Bldg. * * cyliax@ecn.purdue.edu Purdue University, W.
