How does one deal with resizing xterm windows to a System V based machine? In our current configuration, I am running xterm on a Sun3 to UNICOS. It appears that Cray has deemed that the terminfo file for xterm should be 65 lines by 80 columns. I can get around this by setting LINES and COLUMNS, but I'm looking for sumpthin more graceful. I know that xterm sends out a signal (SIGWNCH ??) that is honored on our Suns, but this seems to be ignored on our Cray... Should it be? Or is it just that LINES and COLUMNS will override the signal? Cray has provided "reset", but this seems to only set TERMCAP, which appears to be ignored (at least by vi anyway). I'm still RTFMing, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Any pointers appreciated..... Thanks, -PWM -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter W.
