Now, has anyone actually used these ioctls? I'm working on a | couple of applications where some of the capabilities of the so-called | 'virtual ttys' would come in very handy, but I can't figure it out from | the manual page (sxt(7)), and AT&T has been less than no help. | Any working code fragment, or suggestions as to where to look for more | info, would be greatly appreciated. +--------------- (begin plug) I have seen sxt code in Gnu Emacs; I suspect it's able to act as an intelligent shl. The source is FREE if you have a neighbor site with GNU Emacs; if not, send $150 to the Free Software Foundation; the money goes into development of a public-domain UNIX, an eminently worthy cause. Not only will you get the sxt's for system V, you get a great PUBLIC DOMAIN editor to boot. (Note: Find the latest version you can; I saw it in ca. v17.49, and they're up to v17.62 now last I saw.) --Brandon -- decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!allbery ncoast!allbery@Case.CSNET ncoast!tdi2!brandon (ncoast!tdi2!root for business) 6615 Center St. #A1-105, Mentor, OH 44060-4101 Phone: +01 216 974 9210 CIS 74106,1032 MCI MAIL BALLBERY (part-time) PC UNIX/UNIX PC - which do you like best?
