I will send out a shar file to this list that has the right stuff for
auto and dynamic resizing for the vt100 emulator on apollos (and
suns).  You source a file in your .login file, depending on your term
type, it autosizes the display, and sets the rows and cols in your
termcap.  When you resize your window, source the file again.  It's
high tech.

Ironically, because of the way /dev/tty works on pre-sr10 nodes, this
can't be run *on* apollos.  A couple changes will fix that, though.
(It is because of what stdout is when a command is run inside of ` `).

The shar file is less than 6K, so the list should be able to take it.
And, it's handy.
