I have patched my program to 7.2.0 and have run into a number of
problems. I am running it on a Sun 4/65 (Sparcstation 1+) running
SunOS 4.0.3c. I am using an unmodified makefile.sun (except for the
install locations) which means that SUN_4_0 will be taken as the
default.
First, mushtool dumps core (IOT trap) whenever I compose or reply to a
message. The fix needed is to change the following lines in doproc.c:
In do_compose() and respond_mail():
#ifdef SUN_4_0
/* Panel panel = (Panel)window_get(compose_frame, FRAME_NTH_WINDOW, 1); */
Panel panel = (Panel)window_get(compose_frame, FRAME_NTH_WINDOW, 0);
#else
Panel panel = (Panel)window_get(compose_frame, FRAME_NTH_WINDOW, 0);
#endif /* SUN_4_0 */
That is, make the last argument 0 with or without SUN_4_0 defined.
Second, there seems to be now way not to use the compose_icon feature.
That is, what if I want to have the compose window go away when I am
finished sending a letter. Once a compose window has been created and
closed to an icon, quiting that window also causes the whole Mushtool
to quit with a "mushtool: hangup" message. Even if this is fixed,
there should be an option in the compose window to either close to an
icon or quit, while leaving mushtool running.
