I got the binary for a program that sets the time on a z39 terminal to the current system time quite a while ago for a vax (unix). Our university is switching to sun4's now, so I'd like to get the source and recompile it for SunOs. Does anybody know where I could find this source? Could you mail it to me? Brian

[looking for source code to set clock on a z39]
It's much easier to just use the formatted string output of the "date"
program. Write a 1 line program in your favorite language that outputs
an escape character followed by the argument, and then do a "date".
Could it be that the executable that you were referring to is actually
a shell script that does just this?
In my .login for a z29 ansi terminal, I have
case "z29-ansi":
esc "["
date "+%H;%M;%S{"
breaksw
The z39 is probably similar.
