I was incorporating the bug fixes from the net in more.c and noticed something that seemed to me to be somewhat odd. It is perhaps not a bug but more a question of why. Setting the variable hardtab is done by: hardtabs = !(otty.sg_flags & XTABS); Now, most everyone's tty flags are set by getty (the ht declaration in gettytab). Getty doesn't know whether or not the terminal has hardware tabs; It is just set (or reset) willy-nilly. The pt termcap variable, on the other hand, presumably is correct about that feature. Why is not the termcap consulted, rather than the tty structure? Am I missing something? -- Lyle McElhaney (hao,brl-bmd,nbires,csu-cs,scgvaxd)!denelcor!lmc
