In the version 4.1.1 from uunet change the makefile DEFINES entry to look like:
DEFINES -Dpyr -Dunix

Without the -Dpyr the screen would not clear properly on our OSx4.4 system.

I have the source distribution for tn3270 (Telnet-like IBM3270 emulator)
and it looks like it is going to be a lot of work to do the install (none
of the build nor makefiles work for the Pyramid - we used the same
scripts elsewhere at NCAR to build tn3270 for SUNs).  Before I spent hours
working on this, I was wondering if anyone out there has either an
installation set or an executable binary that we could ftp?  Thanks in
advance.

What OSx version are you running?

I just picked up the latest tn3270 (4.1.1) from ucbarpa and built it.
The only problem I had was the redefinition of _putchar(), which I
fixed by cleaning and then adding -DNOT43 to the makefile.  With that
done, make just plain built it, and it seems fine, except that I'm
getting an initial "SetSockOpt: Invalid argument" which doesn't appear
to have actually caused any problem.  The nearby Big Bluish Beasties
responded with full-screen 3270 operation just fine.

I'm running OSx4.4c (891107) on several flavors of Pyrs.

I can put it up for FTP if you really need it, but I suspect that you
don't.

I have the same problem under OSx4.1, and I eliminated the symptom,
at least, by bracketing the perror call at line 400 in telnet/Source/
sys_bsd.c with   #if !pyr  ...  #endif
ie, don't complain if setting the SO_OOBINLINE option returns an error
code.  I haven't discovered yet why an error IS returned, though.
