From: utzoo!decvax!pur-ee!ecn-pa:bruner Newsgroups: net.unix-wizards Title: '\n' Article-I.D.: ecn-pa.405 Posted: Sat Sep 11 14:16:05 1982 Received: Sun Sep 12 02:51:00 1982 There are terminals for which "newline" is neither a 012 or a 015. Ever used a Superbee? I'm stuck with a couple of these kludgey monsters (I could write pages and pages about the problems they have, and how no two of them seem to use the same cursor control sequences, etc.), and they have a nice large NEWLINE key which generates not CR or LF, but US (037). This means the tty driver and all programs that use raw mode (like "getty") must contain special-case code to convert 037 to 012. One of these days I'm going to get an axe and put them out of my misery. --John Bruner Purdue/EE
