- Subject: Handling ^Z, *without* MiNTlibs
-
- [If a truncated version of this letter appears on the list, I apologize;
- Uniterm siezed up on me and I had to reboot.]
-
- I'm currently working with Jerry Geiger, the author of the recent
- SozobonX port of the Sozobon compiler, with an eye toward a MiNTlibs
- port to SozobonX. One of the problems with the compiler is that it does
- not recognized ^Z; CTRL-ALT-Z is required to suspend the compiler. Now,
- according to some of the old MiNT docs, MiNT should handle ^Z properly
- if the process is doing I/O in cooked mode, from which I infer that the
- compiler is doing I/O in raw mode. My goal, then, is to figure out how
- to switch I/O to cooked mode, _without_ using any MiNTlibs functions
- [for obvious reasons ;) ], so I can pass this on to Jerry. Any
- advice?
-
- [Of course, the compiler also insists on attaching stderr to handle -1,
- but that's a separate issue. :-( ]
