Since this was not necessary on our 3B20 I would tend to call the above a work-around for a bug in the 3B15 vpmsxt driver (we actually "#ifndef u3b15"'ed out the above line). Both processors are running SVR2.1. ================================================================== Pat Sullivan - {akgua|ihnp4}!sortac!pls - voice 404-257-7382

I have been using ksh 3.0 since Dave Korn sent it out last June.
I have it running on AT&T 3B20S's with System V Release 2 version 2
and AT&T 3B2 computers running System V Release 2.0.5.
I use shell layers extensively and have ksh as my default shell and
have had no problems, except for a minor one on my 3B2 which causes
some junk characters to be spit at the terminal IF it is the
console, AND the shell layer being switched to is named "root:".
I sent mail to dgk asking about the shell layers code in ksh and he said to
compile and run ksh WITHOUT the shell layers code and go ahead and use it
with shell layers, which I have done. He said that the shell layers code was not
working correctly and not to use it.
