- I have it running (well limping is probably a better description) on
- an HP 9000/710 under HPUP 8.07. I had heard a bit about it and thought
- it looked ineteresting, but I didn't know that it would be 'difficult'
- to port. So I didn't keep records of what I did... Basically I just
- started to try and compile it, and when I hit a road block did the
- quickest, dirtiest thing I could think of. The main things that I
- remember doing were adding #include <curses.h> and <sgtty.h> all over
- the place, digging out some values for some of the TIO includes (that
- are present, but #ifdef'd out in the system include files) and hard
- coding them. Finally code that still didn't seem to want to work was
- simply commented out :) Incredibly once I got a clean compile it
- sort of worked, especially if you telnet back to the machine you
- log into (the formatting gets fixed by this). Right now I consider
- it more of a curiosity than anything else, if I get a chance to clean
- it up, and people are interested, I will mail the unix end of stuff
- to people.
