Jove, joe and emacs do. I have not tried any vi >variants. It is a matter of testing for the signal TCGETWINSIZE (sp?). It's spelled SIGWINCH. I have tested vi variants. The one that comes with SunOS 4.0.x does react to SIGWINCH; the one that comes with 4.1.x doesn't. Weird, but true. Sun's explanation is that the "new" version of vi (since when does SVR3.1 count as "new" ???) is 8-bit clean and the other one isn't. And who would run X windows on a Sun anyway :-? -- Hope this helps, Hans Mulder hansm@cs.kun.nl
