I am looking for a pseudo tty driver for system V. Does anyone
have/know of one that I could see? Thanks in advance.

Why shouldn't processes be put in a new state from outside? Why shouldn't the user be able to stop them, renice them, and do all sorts of schtroumpfing about with them, without having to set up his signal handlers to do it first? (This may be a plea for more intelligent default signal handlers). Andy "Krazy" Glew. Gould CSD-Urbana. USEnet: ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!aglew 1101 E. University, Urbana, IL 61801 ARPAnet: aglew@gswd-vms
