I am also running 18.54 under SCO Xenix/386 2.3.2. I used to have the
same problem, but if I remember correctly it went away by defining
HAVE_PTYS and FIRST_PTY_LETTER in src/s-xenix.h (they are commented
out by default).
If anyone can determine authoritatively whether Xenix has PTYs,
or which versions of it have them, I would like to know.
Then I can provide appropriate s- files.t31662k@kaira.hut.fi (Andreas Gustafsson) (12/04/89)

SCO Xenix 386 version 2.3.2 provides PTY's for use by the "mscreen" utility, which implements multiple virtual screens on serial terminals. I have been unable to find any reference to them in the manuals except some passing remarks in the mscreen(M) manual page and in a section in the release notes for 2.3.2 that describes "mscreen". The release notes talk about the "new" mscreen utility, so one might assume that pty's are also new (for 2.3.2). On the other hand, since they are essentially an undocumented feature there is no real guarantee that they work or that they won't be replaced by something else in the next release. They do seem to work all right with Emacs. Does anyone have some more accurate information? -- Andreas Gustafsson Internet: gson@joker.hut.fi Voice: +358 0 563 5592
