(Another birthday gone by and old-timers disease has set in . . .)
Am I cracking up or has 'tset' disappeared from System V UNIX? If it has gone
away, has anything replaced it?
I need the option tset offered of querying me for my terminal type and/or
determining it by the route I was using to log in. I can hack the query part
in my .login, but how would I emulate the 'dialup|network|direct'
functionality? (I don't really want to do any work - I just want tset back).
Oh yeah, we're running System V Release 2 (yes, I know, it's old & crufty),
eventually to be System V Release 3.something.

Tset, like ftp, sockets, select(), etc, is a Berkeleyism (borrowed from 4.X BSD) which many **IX vendors have ported to their System V compatible operating systems. The number of Berkeleyisms the vendor ports is up to them. The closest thing to tset is stty, but it is nowhere near as useful as tset. >Adam S.
