Does anyone know if it's particularly difficult to port the Berkeley "new tty discipline" with all its nice character-echoing features (visual line erase, word erase, correct handling of character erase, ctrl-R, ctrl-O, ctrl-V, etc.) to a v7-based system? (Assume that I will take care of any licensing problems.) The character echoing is the major feature of 4.1BSD which I miss on v7. (The v7 in question will be Perkin-Elmer's Edition VII Workbench.) Can /sys/dev/ttynew.c simply be copied mostly intact? Thanks.

From: Lou Salkind <salkind@NYU.ARPA> It's already been done -- look at 2.8 or 2.9 bsd. The code basically drops right in.
