All I >noticed is a "termios.h". termios is the (Posix-sanctioned) successor of termio. BSD's never supported termio, but do support termios now. SysV's traditionally had termio, but do understand termios now, too. So it's best to upgrade your application. Both methods are rather similar (and quite different from the Unix 7th Edition and BSD <= 4.3 `sgtty' style), so upgrading should not be too difficult. For a typical Unix hacker, it's (depending on the clarity of the code) a matter of a few hours. You can often hack around with a bunch of #ifdef's. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
