I am looking for a utility (or help in writing it) that "photographs"
everything that is output (whether it is the result of a program or
the echoing of a keystroke) between the invocation of the program and
its termination. On Carnegie Mellon University's Dec Tops20 and VMS
systems we have a utility called 'PHOTO' which does just this. It records
verbatim everything that is sent to the tty. We do not have this utility
on our Unix systems. I would like this for a Xenix system or SysV.
If anyone knows where I could find it or could suggest how I might write
it, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks!
Jay Libove

This may be more of a problem, depending upon how much pty weirdness Berkeley's `script' does to you, and how much of that is supported in your particular SysV-like port. -=- Bob Sutterfield, Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@ohio-state.{arpa,csnet} or ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!bob soon: bob@aargh.cis.ohio-state.edu
