- It can most definately NOT be coerced to run in the mac:
-
- 1) It's full of ioctl() and signal() and whatnot
-
- 2) It's the grungiest code I ever read (and remember; I've
- read an awful lot of AT&T UNIX code...)
-
- I guess someone somewhere will finally do the world a favour
- and publish a WELL-DEFINED SPEC of the Z-modem protocol,
- including state transition diagrams and a proof that it's
- deadlock-free and handles, say, missed window headers
- correctly.
-
- I'd pay $20, definately.
