Good morning folks,
I've been attempting to add the suggested patches to tscript.c that
Todd Inglett suggested a few months back. I've had little success.
I suspect that HP isn't following System V type rules for inheriting a
controlling terminal. I'm guessing this because a header file called
'sys/bsdtty.h' is included when compiling on hpux.
Has anyone been able to make a typescript on an HP 9000 system
fork and open its own controlling terminal?
-Kris Olander
p.s. If this is fixed in patch 10, where can I get my hands on an early
copy? We are connected to the ITC via AFS, so if some kind soul
could supply us with a path to the patch, ... :)gk5g+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (Gary Keim) (02/22/91)

I've had little success. Yes, this is a tough one. We've applied Todd's patch to typescript and it appears to work fine on rt_r{3,4}, rs_aix31, sun3_35, and ps_aix12 platforms. Nobody has tested it on the HP boxes. We don't have a working HP at the moment.

That file is still include in the new version of tscript.c but you may find that you need to remove that inclusion.

We haven't yet put together a test patch10 but when we do we'll let you know where it lives so that you can test it for us. Thanks for the offer. Gary Keim ATK Group
