From: utzoo!decvax!cca!mclure@sri-unix Newsgroups: net.notes Title: miscio.c & ttyerase/ttykill Article-I.D.: sri-unix.2305 Posted: Wed Jul 28 21:43:39 1982 Received: Thu Jul 29 06:07:17 1982 There are some problems with the miscio.c recently distributed. 1) it does not import the ttyerase/ttykill hacking to reading numbers. Instead, it hardwires backspace and @. 2) the code that handles ttyerase/ttykill assumes that the erase and kill characters are single characters (e.g. "/10 /10") which is not necessarily true. On 2.8/4.1 using the new terminal driver, many users have set their erase/kill to things like ^? (delete) and ^U (control-U for TOPS-20 fans) and ^X (control-X for TENEX fans) Stuart
