Actually, there is a known problem with SunOS 3.x. You can log in with a vt100, and find out emacs, more, vi, etc. doesn't work properly. The reason is that the pseudo-terminal is confused and thinks the number of rows is 34, instead of 24. (do a 'stty everything' to see if this is the case). To fix this problem, you should put a 'stty rows 0 columns 0' in your .login file. Also, I frequently re-size my windows after login. So the size at login time is just the initial window size. I believe this bug occurs when you run a job in the background, and log out before it terminates. The characteristics of the pty aren't reset. [Reality check time. Did I just correct Chris Torek? :-] -- -- Bruce G. Barnett uunet!steinmetz!barnett
