- The problem with the optimizer and the help screens is fixed in the latest
- version. There was a bug in the routines which handled back-tab and tab.
- (The SCO UNIX and Xenix consoles are the only ttys so far that have
- back-tab).

-
- This sounds like something to do with the initialization string given in the
- vt100 termcap entry or perhaps a bug in the part of JOE which sends out pad
- characters. Try copying the termcap file supplied with joe to $HOME/.termcap
- Let me know if this fixes the problem.
-
- You might also try using 'make sv' instead of 'make xenix', but you have to
- put these add these lines into the ttysv.c file:
-
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <sys/stream.h>
- #include <sys/ptem.h>
- #undef SIGCONT
-
- The xenix driver should be better than the system V one though.
