re blinking cursor in xterm in t dndinnmsd senator bedfellow mit edu steve mcmahon launchpad unc edu writes on fri may gmt me dude pcs com michael elbel said me as is emu won t work on bsd derived systems e g suns with me anything else than a csh there is a fix to this which is very me short remove one line of code i ll put this on export today it s more than that actually in the version on export one cannot just specify a posix tty behaviour the posix config files are incomplete without those of some specific platforms like suns and decs i looked twice at porting emu to linux but stopped short becuse of the tty part is there a cleaner version of emu that supports posix tty explicitly hmm depends on how you define clean jordan implemented the system dependent stuff in a way that you have basic implementations for call it operating system types then you go ahead and write a include file for your specific machine or operating system using the basic implementations since both jordan and i haven t encountered a os flavor yet that is fully posix we haven t gotten around to really implement and test a top level include file specifically for just posix the posix routines are used in the sun specific file tty sun i for example but here we also use some bsd stuff all in all it still is probably better to implement a include file for each and every operating system than ifdef ing in existing ones the type of mess that can result from that can clearly be seen in the xterm sources even if quite a bit of code gets copied almost unchanged a couple of times this only uses up some disk space since only the drivers actually included from the toplevel include file will be compiled into emu it shouldn t be hard to come up with a tty linux i file that fully relies on the posix stuff but unfortunately i don t have a linux system available to me so i can t do the port myself i would suggest you read the readme in term sysdep and if you have any problems or questions contact me and we could try to sort this out unfortunately we have to rely on help from the net on this part of emu since we just don t have access to that many different systems michael michael elbel digital pcs gmbh muenchen germany me dude pcs com intelligenz is sowieso nur wat fuer doofe mia fermentation fault coors dumped
