Is there anything tricky required to get shell mode (actually all the subprocess stuff) to work correctly under 386 flavors of Unix (in this case Esix, Rev D)? Symptoms are you can type commands at the shell, but no shell output is returned until the shell process terminates (e.g. by sending it a ^D). Then all the appropriate output appears in the shell buffer. The compile command seems to also drop output if the make generates lots of error messages. I've compiled with the #define that says to do suprocesses and with HAVE_PTYS and SYSV_PTYS. I've tried both with and without HAVE_SOCKETS (since this system has only an approximation of sockets). Any info would be appreciated. /gary grebus@nobozo.enet.dec.com
