I have wanted to get a screen resize to be noticed properly by
a SUN workstation (while running VI) for some time, in the sense
that it works on a 4.3 BSD VAX or on a Sequent running DYNIX.
I ported the 4.3 BSD VI to the SUN and VI actually started
noticing the SIGWINCH event and reshooting the screen but it
still was not getting the new size properly.  Has anyone patched
a SUN to get this feature to work properly?  Does one also need the
4.3 BSD rsh or something?  I suspect that the problem is with
SUN software and not X software.
