I tried changing the SIGWINCHes in both JOVE and GNU emacs to SIGWINDs with no luck at making them adjust to a resized window. I didn't pursue it by looking into the ioctl semantics to see if there is a difference in the way a program finds its new window size, though. Has anyone worked on this? Les Mikesell
