[comp.unix.xenix] pty driver for SCO XENIX

This post has nothing to do with the previous public domain pty driver
posted to comp.emacs and comp.sources.bugs.

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

Oh yes, the previous driver did not work on the 286 sco system that I tested
it on. (out of heap space).

I'll leave the fix to some desperate soul :-)
