Does anyone know if "PASS8" is implemented on any versions of OS10. This is the tty driver option where all 8 bits are transmitted, even in cooked and cbreak modes, unlike the default 7. On OS10.1 the flag entries exist in the include file, and the options are mentioned in the stty manual, but the stty program does not recognise pass8 nor -pass8. I presume this is because they are not implemented, but does anyone know for sure? Is the situation the same on 10.3? John Forrest Dept of Computation UMIST

The SR10.3 man page documents both "pass8" and "-pass8" and stty recognizes both of them. -Chris =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Christopher T.

There is a known-bug at SR10.[23] that cooked-mode TTYs refuse to translate CRs into NLs, if you set LPASS8.

So, be careful. Is there a patch for this - it basically means that Pass8 doesn't work! John Forrest Dept of computation UMIST
