[comp.sources.d] VT220 fonts program

vallury@dartvax.UUCP (06/11/87)

Hi,
	A couple of days ago, I pulled out a VT220 fonts editor from the comp.
sources group.  The person who had written this program said something to the
effect that it should work fine on the Unix even though it was written on the
Sys V.  (Or am I missing something here?)

	Anyway.  Turns out that our machine doesn't have the include file 
called "termio.h".  Is this unique to our machine, or is it true in general?
I tried commenting that line, so that I could figure out the modules that 
were undefined, and substitute those module names after finding them in the
include library.  Haven't been too successful in doing the latter though.  

	Any help would be appreciated.  Thank ye.

fontedit uses capabilities only found on a Sys V system.  The one I quickly
noticed was the VMIN parameter in a tty ioctl.  We run Ultrix 1.2 (with 
some Sys V compatability features) and it doesn't work here.  Perhaps it
could be hacked for Berkley, but I haven't looked into it.
