I am gradually getting Ultrix 2.2 to be a useful network
system. However, I have not been able to get the latest
version of tn3270 to run properly. I have tried both the
generic 4.3 makefile (__putchar defined more than once), and
the 4.2 makefile (reverse video output, improper handling of
<CRLF>, and a host of other small problems). I am using the
latest version from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu (obtained this
afternoon).
The binaries obtainable from devvax.tn.cornell.edu for Sun
3s work fine on a Sun in conjunction with an IBM 3033
running MVS/SP and ACCES/MVS 2.0, so I think that ACCES/MVS
can deal with tn3270 porperly.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Gee, and I thought only we were having problems with Ultrix 2.2. Yes, TN3270 works fine from bsd4.x, Sun's, and *even* Apollo's!!! Yet with Ultrix 2.x, it has a problem!!! I sincerely hope someone in DEC looks into it!! After all DEC says - "DIGITAL has it now" (what??) -- Ignorance is bliss but can be embarassing at times!

Well, I think that I have everything working now - thanks to the help from the net. Things to do: In the DEFINES line of the makefile_4.2, put at least the following. -DNOT43 -DPUTCHAR -DSO_OOBINLINE Change LIBCURSES to read ../curses/vax/libcurses.a Change all occurences of <curses.h> to "....../curses.h", where ....../ is the path to curses.h that comes with the distribution. There are two files (I think) with <curses.h> in them - telnet.c (change to ../curses/curses.h) sys_curses/termout.c (change to ../../curses/curses.h) Please note that I am using version 3 (beta) obtained from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu, and am basing my path descriptions on the result of untarring that distribution. As far as I can tell, everything seems to work properly, without changes to the original curses.h or the termcap file. Thanks for all the assistance. /mde/ PS - I haven't tried graphics yet . . . . .
