Hi, I pulled stevie off the net, but when i tried to compile under 386/ix, it choked because it couldn't find: ascii.h Now I could probably guess what's in there (#defines for NUL, SOH etc.) but I was wondering why it was left out? Is this a Xenixism, or a BSDism? -- Paul Gillingwater, paul@actrix.co.nz

Speaking of Stevie - I have 3.69a and I really need to get it to use Terminfo rather than Termcap because at least of half of the termcap entries on SCO Xenix 2.3.2 are riddled with errors.

Is this a Xenixism, or a > BSDism? It is in fact in ISC 386/ix, in /usr/include/sys/ascii.h. The problem is the file has A_NUL, A_SOH, etc. You need to make a copy in the build directory, then go in and edit out all of the A_ strings from the file. -------------------------------------------------------------- James Howard ..uunet!dell!mustang!jrh or jrh@mustang.dell.com The opinions stated are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of my employer, or anyone else. --------------------------------------------------------------

Any relation between the two is coincidental. The UNIX/386 ascii.h defines A_HT for horizontal tab. Stevie wants TAB instead of HT. Stevie also wants a CTRL('x') macro, which UNIX/386's ascii.h doesn't have. I think the real answer is that ascii.h was just inadvertantly omitted from this release. It *was present* in a previous release. However you can roll your own on UNIX/386 by editing sys/ascii.h to create "ascii.h" as follows: s/A_// s/HT/TAB/ #define CTRL(x) ((x) - '@') -- Perestroika: could \O\ Tom Neff it happen here? \O\ uunet.uu.net!bfmny0!tneff

What about for the TC people? ... there is a reference (depandancy) on ascii.h in the TC version of the makefile, but no such file (that I can see) is supplied with TC2.0 ... now what? leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
