[comp.os.os9] New Pty-Filemanager put to smilodon.cs.wisc.edu

mellin@Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE (Reimer Mellin (F)) (06/07/91)

Hello,
I uploaded the current version of my Pty-Filemanager to
smilodon.cs.wisc.edu.
Besides some Bugfixes it features:
	- say 'dir /pty' to get all current open ptys (the
	same applies for /tty)
	- SS_IOSTOP and SS_IOCONT implemented.
	- XON/XOFF Control added.
	- pausechar added.
The upload consists of two files:
	- ptyman.src.t.Z : the sources and docs
	- ptyman.bin.t.Z : binaries of ptyman and descriptors.

Best wishes 
	Reimer Mellin

Hi Reimer,

sounds Ok.  But can you tell me this :

	1) whats a pty?
		is it a pseudo tty?

	2) If it is a tty non-block device why does it have a file manager?
		I have not seen your product before!

	3) Can I get it to run on my CoCo III OS9 Level II, with or without hacking?

	4) Is the Z file format generated with the 12 or 16 bit compression mode?

regards,

Walter
