Here's Dave Alverson's recommended patch for the destructive backspace problem. You can do this with any reasonable raw-file editor (edit the resource fork) or with ResEdit (CODE 4 resource, offset 0022f2, find 588f 4eba 0004 4e75 and change it to 588f 4e71 4e71 4e75). With this change in place, ZTerm 0.8 works very effectively under GNU Emacs. --------- From: Dave Alverson Rec'd To: Greg Smith Msg #60, 06-Jun-89 02:41pm Subject: Re: ZTerm 0.8 has destructive backspace To fix the wonderful destructive backspace in ZTerm v0.8, go to offset 10BEE in the file and change 4EBA 0004 to 4E71 4E71. The word before these two is 588F and the word after is 4E75. This just NOPs out a call to a subroutine that erases the char at the cursor position. --------- -- Dave Platt FIDONET: Dave Platt on 1:204/444 VOICE: (415) 493-8805 UUCP: ...!{ames,sun,uunet}!coherent!dplatt DOMAIN: dplatt@coherent.com INTERNET: coherent!dplatt@ames.arpa, ...@uunet.uu.net USNAIL: Coherent Thought Inc. 3350 West Bayshore #205 Palo Alto CA 94303
