I haven't had the time to follow this group exhaustively.  I am sure this
has been discussed.

With NetBSD, I get the following error from the console which is quite
irritating:

TIOCGPGRP:  Inappropriate ioctl for device.

It prevents me from using 'more' and other things.

I am just a binary user.  Is there a compiled fix for this somewhere,
new kernal?, whatever is needed?  I would appreciate any help.  If 
someone can let me know of an ftp server where I can get a binary 
download to fix this problem, I would be most grateful.

This is the only thing about NetBSD that really gets on my nerves.  Other
than that, I am really enjoying useing it.A
