If you call my bbs at 714-898-8634, you can download the file, initnew.tar.Z,
which contains a REAL working version of init/inittab along with an emulation
of uugetty. The file can be found in the xenix_enhance directory. All the SysV
functions are completely emulated so you can follow any SysV manual on how to
setup your inittab. I have been using the code, without any failures now, for
over 2 years! BTW, an installation shell script is also included so all the
work is done for you.
