Has anybody else had problems with Layers getting confused on the last
line of a screen. It shows up using the command 'more -cd' to list
files larger than one screen and goes away with 'more -d'. With the
'-c' option present, the last line gets overwritten with spaces
(although I can see it being written correctly before it gets
overwritten); with the '-c' option absent, the last line is correct.
It's not exactly a problem with the last physical line on the screen
because I see the same problem when I limit the number of lines to
less than 24.
Also in vi, when inserting lines at the bottom of the screen, the lines
don't visually scroll so it seems as if you're writing on top of the
previous line. When you redisplay the screen however, the insertions,
in fact, are correct.
I've played with both the layers-supplied termcap, and some of the
enumerable variations of vt100 entries on our Sun-4 w/o avail.
Can others confirm this behavior? Any solutions?

I haven't had problems with the last character of a line but I have had problems transfering files. The macbput program distributed with MacLayers doesn't seem to do the job.... or more correctly, MacLayers doesn't seem to like the format of macbput. MacLayers doesn't seem to work with xmodem, macput, mbput or any other varient that I've tried. Any solutions?

But after a while, I found that the problem only happens when I going through the indirect connection (such as a terminal server, or rlogin from the one machine to other). As long as I keep the connection directly, everything works fine. As a matter of the fact, I just sent back a hqx file while I was typing this article here. :-). I'm happy with layers and macbput. One little problem, I am having problem sending those xxx.sit_bin files with macbput. Anyone knows how? Guangliang He ghe@PHYSICS.ORST.EDU hegl@ORSTVM.BITNET

> One little problem, I am having problem sending those xxx.sit_bin > files with macbput. Anyone knows how? I do it all the time with MacLayers. To send a mac binary format file using macput or macbput, it must first be split into three forks. I do this by first using mcvert -U to create a binhex file and then using xbin to split it. Both mcvert and xbin are UNIX(R) utilities available on BBS's. You can make a shell script to do it all in one step, if you like. I never bothered.
