Hi. You wrote:
Sal, you seem to have removed the TIOCSTI feature of tty.c in pmail,
so that it doesn't simulate typed input any more.
Bottom line: I was a bonehead, and it's fixed now. Sorry.
Anyway, since you asked:
(Only the NetBSD binary seems to reflect this change.) Was there a
reason for this, apart from code aesthetics?
tty.c didn't compile on the SGI. I looked through the code, I thought
I understood what it was doing, and I thought that I came up with a
cleaner, more portable way of doing it. I was wrong about
understanding what it was doing, so I broke tty.c. (That is, I
introduced the bug while porting it to the SGI. The bug showed up on
NetBSD because that version just happened to be rebuilt after the bug
was introduced.)
I reverted tty.c to the last unbroken revision, correctly ported to
the SGI (and Posix systems in general), and re-installed it for SGI
and NetBSD.
Have a nice day.
-Sal.
