Does anyone know how to get snake2 to work under system V.2.
I would also like to use it on my unixpc.
Problems I ran into:
1. No real quick_sleep - maybe a for loop could accomplish this??
2. getkey.c needs FIONREAD (ioctl)
Suggestions/fixed code anyone??
Tom.

IT WILL PROBABLY KILL YOUR CPU. As for (2), I can fix that one, too. I am going to have to fly to Minneapolis tomorrow to give a 2-day class on a language I wrote, so I won't be able to touch this until at least Friday. If I get snake2 working for SVR2, I'll post the source (with #ifdef SYS5 for the new stuff) to net.sources. -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd mgnetp ]!burl!rcj ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua masscomp ]!clyde!rcj
