Maclayers does not support the vt100 scroll forward. This causes problems
with 'emacs' if the capability is not removed from TERMCAP (it isn't
in the termcap that comes with MacLayers)
The font is almost unreadable-- changing the ascent of MacLayers 9 and
Maclayers 29 to 9 makes it like standard Monaco.
To get Maclayers to work compiled under ultrix, either find a scanf that
doesn't require a buffer, or replace (in protocol.c):
setbuf(stdin, NULL); /* non-buffer all input */
with
setbuffer(stdin, &inbuf, 1); /* ugly kludge */
(of course, declare 'inbuf' as a global char variable)
Sending macbinary files with 'sx' or 'xmodem' works fine (yes, it's in the
docs, but the docs also suggest breaking up the file with mcvert-- there
is no need).
