Howdee: I'm looking for a little help. I'm the proud new administrator of a newly upgraded NCR Tower 32/750 (the 68040 model), and while I've been using gmacs for a while (I've built on several machines, etc.) I'm stymied here. Configuration: NCR Tower 32/750, os 1.0.0 (System V 3.2 - shadow passwords + [get this] a steams-based tty system [really! you can do an ioctl(I_LOOK, fileno(stdin)) and get a module name and everything]) gcc 1.39 with a minor patch that I'm not sure I trust yet to do the right things for the 68040. The problem: Typeahead doesn't work! The first time I built emacs was on an AT&T 3B2 running SVR3.2.1, and typeahead worked. It was very nice. Now, it doesn't! Specifically, I mean that if I do ^V^V^V I have to wait while it redraws all three scroll-up's. If I do an I-Search, it jumps through all of the characters, not just up to where it's at now (you all understand what that means if your typeahead works, so I'm not going to make that more clear). So that more of you might be inclined to respond (since I expect that I'm one of about 3 people in the world running the 750), This same problem existed on my Tower 32/700 and /500 (so I surmise it should also for the /300) while running 18.56. I just found out (I never noticed) that the 300/500/700 machines also had a streams-based tty subsystem, so this problem should apply to the rest of you just-before-the-3000s-were-announced folks, too. I didn't complain on the previous revs, since I knew I was going to upgrade hardware and software soon, anyway. Help would be appreciated! Andy Kailhofer Ameritech Services, Inc.--Info.
