[comp.sys.next] 0.9 Terminal

dorner@pequod.cso.uiuc.edu (Steve Dorner) (05/17/89)

When I have multiple copies of Terminal running, quitting one of
them frequently zaps them all.  This didn't happen under 0.8.
Does it happen to anyone else, or am I just talented?

I see this problem too; though so far it seems like I've only noticed it 
happen when I've got an rlogin running in two windows to the same host.  When
one exits, the goes with it too.  Weird.

On another topic, why doesn't the spooling system reverse the pages on the
printer on files printed from WriteNow.  When printing the release notes, the
pages are stacked on the printer in the wrong order.  Under 0.8, the 
(conforming) PostScript files were run through psrv before being printed.

I have seen both Terminal and Workspace quit uxexpectely
or get garbage pixels occasionally.

Is there any way these kinds of fixes could be posted to the network
or left or anonymous ftp somewhere? Or is there a policy against releasing
software between official releases?

Thanks for any information *anyone* can provide.

I talked to our local SE about what NeXT's official policy was on distributing
patches was while I was setting up the cs.orst.edu ftp archive site. The
reply was that NeXT will not distribute patches (period). They figure you
can wait until the next release of the OS.

I have a directory on the ftp site that has been set up from the start for
the purpose of holding official NeXT patches but it looks like it will 
probably remain empty unless NeXT changes their policy.
