[comp.bugs.sys5] NUL appended to <CR> - answer

mercer@npdiss1.StPaul.NCR.COMDan Mercer) (07/05/90)

Thanks to everyone who responded to my problem report about NUL's
appending carriage return's.  You know,  when I made out the report
I had a nagging feeling I had left out something.  I failed to mention
that the stty definition did not specify padding of <CR>'s.
Nor did changing the pad to DEL cause CR's to be padded with DEL.   Another
writer explained that telnet uses the NUL to indicate the a LF will not
follow,  and that the local TCP should strip it out,  which it is not doing.
So it appears I have a TCP bug,  not a UNIX bug.
Thanks again,
