[comp.windows.news] Psterm Loses Characters

km@emory.uucp (Ken Mandelberg) (01/14/89)

I've just started using the Grasshopper Group psterm and have noticed a
problem. This is on a color Sun 3/60 running SunOS 4.0 and NeWS 1.1.

The symptom is that psterm sometimes loses a hunk of output. I can't reproduce
it consistantly but it happens most when:

  * I am using it to rlogin to another system
  * The window is partially covered or partially off screen
  * There is a relatively large burst of output.

I thought at first that it might be that data was lost between rlogin
and the pty or psterm and the ttyp, but that is not the case. If I
refresh the window, the lost data shows up.

Has anyone seen this problem? Are there any fixes to psterm that I
missed? I'm running the code as posted.
