- Seyon is reported to run on most Unix platforms. Before compiling
- Seyon, edit the file config.h according to your system. Normally,
- config.h is the only file that you need to edit in order to
- compile Seyon.
-
- If you compile and run Seyon successfully, provide me with
- information like the ones below. I'd appreciate that. (I can
- withhold your email address if you like).
-
- The code right now is not very clean and not well-documented, but
- I'm working on that. If you encounter a problem while porting,
- send a letter to me or the Seyon mailing list and I'll help as
- much as I can, especially with explanations on what the various
- parts, of the code do. See the FAQ on how how to joing the list.
-
- The following is a list of machines/OS combinations Seyon is
- reported to run on. If you want your name or address taken out of
- the list (e.g. in fear some luusers who have a system like yours
- might contact you if they have a problem :), send me mail to that
- effect, and I'll take it out of the next release.

- DETAILED NOTES:
-
- ------------------------------
- A) Using the sgtty interface and BSD ioctls (old BSD systems that have
- neither the POSIX termios nor the SYSV termio interfaces, like
- SunOS 3.x):
-
- From bob@snuffy.penfield.ny.us (Bob Smith):
-
- Well here it is, finally... This will allow seyon to compile and
- function using BSD ioctls, although I should probably mention
- 'where it's at'...
-
- 1) setting 8-bit mode puts the modem port into RAW mode. This
- disables Xon/Xoff and any parity settings that may be active,
- even though the Xon/Xoff and parity settings will still show
- as they are currently set. Returning to 7-bit mode puts the
- port back into CBREAK where Xon/Xoff and parity are once
- again active. There is no 5 or 6 bit mode, selecting those
- behave the same as 7 bit mode (re-establishes CBREAK)...
-
- 2) There is no ISTRIP equivalent in the BSD ioctls of my machine.
- So that function is simply ifdef'd out...
-
- 3) Stop bits will always be 1... although my machine seems to have
- an extension to allow setting 1 or 2 stop bits, I don't know how
- portable that may be... and since I've never had a need for 2
- stop bits, I chose to leave it out...
-
- 4) ...and something that's had me stumped for the last couple of days.
- The 'led' indicators in the seyon control panel don't work for me???
- For the life of me I can't figure out why, since I know from other
- experience that the modem control ioctls DO work... At one time
- I had some debug code in, and sure enough, they start out working
- and then quit when the initial modem settings are plugged in...
- I'll figure it out eventually! :-)
