Hi,

Have just installed a v7 slackware site and am having problems running
an app that worked fine under 3.6. The app (Progress v6 for SCO)
complains about stdin and/or stdout being redirected, when run from a
telnet session. The app works 100% from the console. I noted that the
tty used to be called /dev/pty? and now it is /dev/pts/?, and guess it
has something to do with the pseudo-tty drivers.

Any ideas?

Failing joy in the solution department, anyone know where I can
download 3.6, because, of-course, I trashed my previous dist when I
got the latest and greatest! I should be more paranoid!

TIA

Are you running the program using the iBCS binary standard emulation? 
If so, you might get a better luck asking them.

As an alternative, you could build an alternate telnetd (or xterm) that
use the old BSD tty's and make it listen on an other port (or save under
a different name).

/usr/doc/ibcs2 has some documentation on that. (and in Tools, a trace
utility).

If you have the source and it compiles, then change the code that reject
/dev/pts/1 as a tty. "isatty" should be use instead.
