The UNaXcess package posted in comp.sources.unix a long time ago compiles well on Microport System V/AT 2.4. However, trying to access it from the console produces strange screen output (column mode instead of line mode). Since the good old Microport BBS was based on UNaXcess and didn't show up this problem, there should be patches around to fix this misbehavior. Could anyone post or mail these patches?

We also did a bit of work on the UNaXcess source to fix some bugs and customize it. I don't remember anybug about funny screen output but then I wasn't the one that did most of the work on the source. You might have run into a 286 compiler bug or more likely a C library bug (in puts) or a curses bug (I can't remember if UNaXcess used curses). --Ken
