I eariler posted a request concerning how to get the SIGWINCH handling for VI to work correctly on a SUN, it turns out that porting 4.3 BSD VI solved part of the problem and that with it under the Bourne shell the resize signal handling works correctly. If one runs under csh or ksh(with job control) the SIGWINCH signal is not sent to VI when the resize is done. I confirmed this with a seperate program which reported being hit with SIGWINCH and printed out the new size. The problem is evidently related to the "new terminal driver" which is used for job control. I can configure ksh without job control easily, one does not really need it with windows, but csh users are still stuck. Does anyone know if this problem is fixed with SUNOS 4.0? We are currently running 3.4.
