I'm working trying to compile a rather scary ass program that was written
with a lot of assumptions about what UNIX looks like.
One of the assumptions it made is that stdin is a record with a field
named _cnt.
On our SunOS machine, this is true---stdin/stdout/stderr are of type
_iobuf, but under 386bsd, there is no such structure. The structure
that stdin IS made of has no field called _cnt...
What should I use instead...? Our local machine has no documentation
on what the fields of _iobuf stand for.
Toodlepip!
Marc 'em.
