Path: utzoo!utgpu!watmath!att!ucbvax!bloom-beacon!ZTIVAX.SIEMENS.COM!lbo%ztivax From: lbo%ztivax@ZTIVAX.SIEMENS.COM (Lothar Borrmann) Newsgroups: comp.mail.mush Subject: Mush on Apollos (SR 9.7) Message-ID: <8908091029.AA17481@ztivax.uucp> Date: 9 Aug 89 10:28:56 GMT Sender: daemon@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 28 After getting used to mush on an Ultrix VAX I tried to put it onto an Apollo DN 4000, running Domain IX SR 9.7. It compiled nicely in the BSD4.2 environment after minimal changes to the makefile.bsd (for the Aegis 'bind' linker) and config.h (defining VPRINTF). Now, while most functions seem to work, there is one major problem that arises when subprocesses are generated: - On invoking an editor (eg. by ~e), mush will not be resumed after termination of the editor subprocess. It simply hangs and has to be killed. - After invoking some external command, mush will have disappeared and I am back in my shell again. I presume that this is a problem of insufficient BSD compatibility of the Apollo SR 9.7 system (a known problem). I looked into the mush code but it is not quite obvious to me what the corresponding mechanism should work like and where the problem comes up. Any hints from the mush experts ? _____________________________________________________________________________ Lothar Borrmann | Email: Siemens AG | EUnet lbo@ztivax.uucp Corporate R&D, ZFE F2 SYS 3 | or ...!unido!ztivax!lbo Otto-Hahn-Ring 6 | Internet lbo@ztivax.siemens.com D-8000 Muenchen 83 | (non-MX: lbo%ztivax@siemens.siemens.com) West Germany | or lbo%ztivax.uucp@uunet.uu.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
