[hacknews] spd fixes

henry (05/08/83)

Made three changes to the Sanders daemon, partly in anticipation of
graphics stuff and partly overdue general cleanup:

1. The daemon now fiddles the tty modes to force expansion of newline
to CR-LF.  This eliminates the need for the spooler (etc.) to generate
carriage returns.  The nroff terminal tables have been adjusted to
match, although the spooler is still generating a lot of superfluous
CR's.  (I'll fix this soon.)

2. The daemon no longer emits a reset sequence at the beginning of
each file.  This may present problems if spoolers etc. start doing
more fiddling with the Sanders's modes, because things will not get
reset properly.  But the reset sequence is suspected in the lingering
misalignment problems;  it would be nice if Sanders supplied an extra
reset sequence that set everything back to defaults but didn't flush
the internal buffer or clear the printer's page-top logic.

3. A minor fix:  the mail-on-completion option used to misidentify
itself as the line printer.
