On our version of SCO UNIX, there are two kinds of pseudo terminals. Those used by TCP/IP and those used by mscreen. make that 3, those used by shl (shell layers). My question is, except those used by shl, how do I use the /dev/ttyp* devices for my own use. I cant find any documentation on them. I tried to write my own mscreen (multi screen) but I cant make the controlling terminal a pseudo-terminal. Is there some example software that I could reference, or does anyone know where some documentation is? Thanks jerry Spillman Data Systems Logan, Ut

I've been playing around with SVR3.2 STREAMS ptys this week after seeing someone on the net mention them. I picked up a copy of the SVR4 STREAMS Programmer's Guide, and the code examples in there worked fine under 3.2. I got a little two shell split-screen program working without too much difficulty. I would assume SCO has STREAMS ptys -- look for /dev/ptmx and /dev/pts###. -- John W. Temples -- john@jwt.UUCP (uunet!jwt!john)
