Hello (again, sigh),
Well, the last time I posted about tcsh, I was having problems with stty.
Somebody (don't have the file handy, sorry) posted the patches, and, lo and
behold, it worked. Blessings on you. Now for the $64k question: we seem
to be having problems with lines with a '\' at the end (multiple lines, you
know?). Basicly, we have a TERMCAP entry we wish to enter (not supported
normally), and we have lines like this:
vt500:.*:\
:.*:\
and so on. What happens is that the colon appears go get eaten, so the
TERMCAP seems to think that the entry conains a newline and a tab, which has
its problem when we wish to use emacs 8-). Anybody else encounter (and fix)
this, or do I have to mung around myself?
On a lighter note, I have (more or less) successfully ported it to a 4.1
system. There were some minor problems, such as an apparantly deficient
library (it was missing getwd() in -ljobs, which is where one section of the
manual said it should be), and missing some nice things from 4.2. I solved
the getwd() by copying the sources from the lib source directory, but I
think this was a local problem.
Also, since I'm here, does anybody have patches to make jove (or emacs)
work on a 4.1 system? Both really seem to want 4.2 more than anything else,
so we're having some problems (jove won't use pty's without select, or
SIGIO, which we don't have). We're on a national semiconductor sys16,
should this prove of interrest.
Thank you for your support.
