Basically, there is a ~C command that executes a process with its stdin and stdout attached to the tip line. I used this with the widely-available Unix xmodem command, though I had to make a slight modification to the command (it died if it couldn't change the mode of the tty line, and that happens when you use ~C). -- David Elliott dce@smsc.sony.com | ...!{uunet,mips}!sonyusa!dce (408)944-4073 "Only four of us?

A quick check indicates that feature may be in the vanilla 4.3BSD "tip"; I don't know whether it first appeared in some SunOS release or whether Sun just picked it up from Berkeley.

Looks like you're right. I used the man page and the binary in our system (which is a 4.3BSD-based) as my basis for the statement, along with the knowledge that SunOS 4.0 supports this feature. The Makefile I have for tip has a list of optional defines, and describes this one as: # CONNECT worthless command Could someone check and see if this is in the standard 4.3BSD makefile for tip (I'd like to find out who thinks it's "worthless")? I couldn't find a version of tip source in the bsd-sources archive on gatekeeper, so I suspect it's still AT&T-derived. -- David Elliott dce@smsc.sony.com | ...!{uunet,mips}!sonyusa!dce (408)944-4073 "Only four of us?
