I grabbed the source I had for the DECstation, and I had to change two lines in one of the files to include <sys/ioctl_compat.h> just before <sys/ioctl.h>, and things compiled w/out a hitch. Also, since uemacs and beav (binary editor) have the same roots, I also ported beav 1.32 to 386BSD. Both work great, with one little funny thing so far. When run under screen, you must type CTRL-V twice to do a page-down. Under a normal tty it works fine, so I suspect screen is doing something funny. If you want the source, I could put it up for ftp somewhere, but it was SIMPLE!!! to compile. I am also working on mush 7.2.4, but I am getting Segmentation faults in sglob. Don't know why, but I suspect it's some assumption I made when changing things to compile. Nate -- osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | A hacker w/out a home.
