I have tried compiling the reactive keyboard (posted to comp.sources.unix recently) on several different machines (Sun 3/60 v3.5, 3/260 v4.0.3 and Apollo DN4000 SR10.1) all with the same result. It dumps core. I believe it is a malloc related problem. I checked the uunet archives and no patches have been added to comp.sources.unix/volume20/reactivekeyboard. Am I missing something? --- Brian Kelley itivax!clif!dgsi!brian

I mucked with it a little, but gave up. I don't have the time to debug posted software, so if it doesn't work with minimal hacking, I remove it. I haven't seen any patches posted either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ kinstrey@wsqtba.crd.ge.com | "Balls." said the queen, "Balls." kinstrey@wsqtba.UUCP | "If I had them I'd be King." ___________________________|__________________________________________________

If I remember correctly, adding "-lmalloc" to the cc command line in the Makefile got it to compile correctly on our Ultrix system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ., >{~) ['} / Stephen Kinzler \ + < : ~$[~{}== | | % > %()}@!

I tried to get RK working on both System V and BSD systems. It core dumped or locked up my screen. I find the idea of RK intriguing, but after messing with it a while, I decided it was a waste of my time and "rm"d it. If someone manages to get it into a quasi-portable state, give me a ring.

I got it to work on our Sun4, but not on a Sun3 to which it
was networked. Don't know why...
It's really a neat program, but one thing annoys me: when
starting vi from an rk shell, rk is advertised to "turn itself
off." This it does, but it seems to effect what the system
thinks my terminal is, ergo vi messes up. Do I have to tell
the rk shell to import my termcap stuff, or what?

I am going to ask, "What was it about?" - me I am using rk(1) on a regular basis with no problem on a sun3/160 running 4.0.3. I too had the same problem you folks are reporting. Someone posted a bug fix for this problem a while back (to this group I think though I am not sure on this). It was very trivial. Try sending mail to the author of the program, he may be able to help you. -Anantha- ******************************************************************************* Anantha Padmanabha N.
