Repeat by-- stty susp ^@ ex Partial cure-- This "cure" gets rid of the spurious diagnostic. Alas, when the user tries to suspend their job by typing ^@, "vi" and "ex" will proceed to beep at them. Any ideas? ed /usr/src/cmd/ex/ex_tty.c /ldisc == NTTYDISC/i #ifdef OLDVERSION . /ldisc == NTTYDISC/a #else if (ldisc == NTTYDISC && olttyc.t_suspc != '\0') { #endif . w q Bugout-- I encountered this bug on a Masscomp system, where ASCII NUL is returned in ioctl structures to indicate that there's no character you can type to cause the control function associated with the structure element. I KNOW it's a pretty outre bug to be reporting. -- ...decvax!seismo!umcp-cs!elsie!ado (301) 496-5688 (DEC, VAX and Elsie are Digital Equipment Corp. and Borden's trademarks)
