- Is there any way to start sdb having the application to use one tty
- (xterm window) and sdb another ?
- We are currently trying to debug sc (the spread sheet calculator)
- but since both sc and sdb talks to the current tty everything gets
- a mess on the screen. As far as I remember gdb solved the problem
- by some sort of tty redirect command but as far as I can see sdb
- does not have this feature. On the other hand it seems unlikely that
- this fundamental problem is not solved in the SVR4/sdb environment.
-
- Thanks in advance for any kind of help in this matter !

- PS
- We are trying to run sc with 8 bit character set (using character
- values > 127) on a SVR4 UNIX (Consensys). A minimal test of the
- curses package indicates that it is capable of handling 8-bit chars.
- After fixing the toascii() function in the sc code I tried it by
- entering a "leftstring" inserting a three character string where one
- contained the hex value 0xe5. When sc redraws the screen it gets stuck
- in a loop filling the screen with garbage (in reverse video).
-
- Anyone succeeded to run sc in 8-bit mode ?
