To download:
portnoy Any ACU 2400 16194580259 ogin:--ogin: uucp
portnoy Any ACU 1200 16194580259 "" \r\d\r\c ogin: uucp
The file is ~/pty.tar (or for you compress folks) ~/pty.tar.Z
Pick a directory for this software to reside. Mine was /usr/sys/conf/pty.
untar and uncompress (if need be) and look at the Makefile. Add "${FOR286}"
to the CFLAGS line if you are using a 286 machine.
make
make install
When you boot your machine, you should have pty's. (the old xenix kernel
will be /xenix.old).
To test:
compile emacs with:
#define FIRST_PTY_LETTER 'p'
#define HAVE_PTYS
#define subprocesses
and try:
M-x shell
When you get a shell prompt try:
tty (and)
stty -a
You should be on a tty named "ttyp0" or something real similar.
Or:
date > /dev/ptyp0 &
cat /dev/ttyp0
(This should print the date)
Pax, Keith
