Do you mean dtterm & xterm? There is no dttool & xtool. ( *tool was
the OpenLook Deskset naming convention. CDE uses dt* for standard CDE
programs and sdt* for Solaris CDE extensions. X simply uses x* for
program names.)
|(I've read, in comp.unix.solaris, that you can't (either
|easily, or at all), move the solaris-7 (or 8) shelltool
|executable to 9 and have it work, because Sun has also
|removed various other things that are needed for
|shelltool to run.)
Actually, I think it might, if you install the SUNWol* packages. I've
heard of people doing it, but never tried myself.
|(1) You say "ls -ls", and the screen (at my "shell
|account" at the other end, to which I'm dialing into via
|kermit) fills with, uh, ls-lines.
|
|Now do "vi some-file" -- all those ls-lines are still
|there, just overlaid by the "black" chars in some-file.
|
|You hit ^L -- nothing happens.
|
|You exit or ^Z vi, and try ^L again; still nothing.
|
|You type the cmd "clear"; nothing happens.
Are you setting your terminal type correctly on the other end? It
should be dtterm or xterm or vt100. If I remember correctly shelltool
used a TERM of "sun".
