SysVr3.0 on a 3B2/400
My docs for stty(1) say:
"sane resets all modes to some reasonable values."
But, nowhere does it say what those reasonable values are, nor why they
are considered reasonable. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Well, try this: $ stty -a # or -all or everything or whatever it is $ stty sane $ stty -a # or -all or everything or whatever it is and then stare at the differences. It usually sets things up similar to the way it "used to be". Like @ and # as editing chars, DEL as intr, etc. -- Larry McVoy lm@arizona.edu or ...!{uwvax,sun}!arizona.edu!lm Use the force - read the source.

I don't mean to be droll, but we scientific types would just try it and then inquire about what stty settings we end up with.

Can anyone help? Thanks. Ahh, this is an EASY one (at least the first question - your guess is as good as mine as to the reason why).... # stty sane # stty -a speed 9600 baud; line = 0; intr = DEL; quit = ^|; erase = #; kill = @; eof = ^d; eol = ^`; swtch = ^` parenb -parodd cs7 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc ixon ixany -ixoff isig icanon -xcase echo -echoe echok -echonl -noflsh opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel It will not change your baud rate, of course, and possibly other things are also untouched, but this was executed on a 3B2 model 400 running 3.1 (which should be the same sane defaults as any other version of AT&T system V). But really, though, you could have done this yourself..... Randy
