- sorry... what i was trying to say is the GEMDOS tty stuff just isn't,
- well, good enough to be of much use really. maybe the lib should try to
- `emulate' and hack around all the TOS problems somehow, okay (i just
- looked at what the gnulib does for ttys... libsrc87.zoo) but currently
- it doesn't and i can understand why.
-
- i think the MiNT library is designed to work without MiNT, but not to
- fix everything thats broken without MiNT...
-
- ok? cheers,
