Allbery) Followup-To: comp.unix.wizards Organization: Cleveland Public Access UN*X, Cleveland, Oh Lines: 24 As quoted from <2754@ficc.uu.net> by peter@ficc.uu.net (Peter da Silva): +--------------- | 'uw' is available for the Amiga and Atari ST, as well as the Mac. The problem | is the host-side seems to be BSD specific. Has anyone got 'uw' running under | System V (I presume Xenix III is out of the question)? +--------------- "uw" requires (a) pty's, (b) polling (select() or poll()) and (c) it uses F_SETOWN, which makes me wonder if you need SIGIO as well (I haven't looked at the source too closely yet, F_SETOWN is mentioned in the release notes). The former two are possible with STREAMS (some implementations, at least); the latter, in some cases, could be a REAL b*tch (reliable signals, please!). If it turns out to be possible, I've the uw 4.2 server sources available and will post diffs relative to them for a STREAMS implementation. [I have to wait for the vendor to get the /dev/pty clone device or the underlying driver working before I can do anything, though.] ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
