I am working on a C program to print a file on the printer attached to my vt100 terminal. Actually it is an IBM-PC running Kermit. I know what codes to send to turn the printer on and off. I open the "dev/tty" file to fool any program which uses my program into passing the characters through (i.e I do not merely send them to stdout or stderr). Now I want to force the characters to be sent with 8 bits, no parity. The parity bit causes my Epson to print in italics, and really confuses an HP LaserJet. I cannot configure my terminal for even parity for other reasons. I studied the man pages for a long time, trying to figure out what system call would set the outgoing characters to no parity, without success. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. I am using a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 4.0.1. -David- -- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.
