- I put a huge disclaimer in the "stty add bsd" example of the stty command
- in InfoExploder. Most things on AIX 3.2 do NOT know how to talk to a bsd
- discipline. Some bsd functionality was smashed into the posix (default)
- line discipline. Have you tried to use your programs "as is" ? I know
- cbreak is broken, I looked at the code about a year ago when someone on
- this newsgroup reported it...I sent him a note off-line telling him to
- call it in and even supplying the text for what needed to be fixed...he
- never did. (Before someone jumps down my throat, saying I should have
- fixed cbreak anyway, for a time in Austin we were operating in a mode
- where internally reported problems had to be "stop ship" in order to be
- allowed to fix them...BUT, if a customer reported it I could have fixed
- it).
