I am running EMACS 18.51 on an NCR Tower/32 running System V.2. NCR's 
release number is 1.03.02.

I just resently got hold of a pty driver for this machine (it is not
included in the standard OS :-(. For identification, the driver starts
with the following lines of code:
/*
 * pty.c - Berkeley style pseudo tty driver for system V
 *
 * Copyright (c) 1987, Jens-Uwe Mager, FOCUS Computer GmbH
 * Not derived from licensed software.

 * the author is not construed to be liable for any results of using the
 * software, alterations are clearly marked as such, and this notice is
 * not modified.
 */

I changed my config.h file in emacs to #define HAVE_PTYS and recompiled.
Now, everything concerning pty's run just fine except for one most
annoying bug:
Whenever a process terminates EMACS does not pick up and display the last 
10-30 bytes output by the process through the pty. If I subsequently open 
another connection using the same pty the bytes show up at that time 
instead!

Has other people out there seen this problem and possibly can suggest how
to fix it? Thanx in advance.
