I have a program that sometimes wants to use TIOCSTI to stuff back the literal-next character, to quote the next character the user types. This works fine on real BSD. However, when I try the same program on Suns, it sometimes works (release 3.5) and sometimes doesn't (release 4.0.3). When it fails, the TIOCSTI results in the literal-next character itself being read, rather than the next character the user types. (As if the lnextc quoted itself when TIOCSTIed.) What I want to know is, am I wrong in expecting this to work? In other words, is the misbehavior under Sun release 4.0.3 a Sun bug or me expecting too much? (If anyone knows of a simple fix, I'd love to hear about it.) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
