Yes, I have had the same experience, although I managed to get a
little further.  First off let me say that it does compile ok on a
SPARC station IPC, running SunOS 4.1, but when I tried it on another
SPARC running 4.0.? I encountered the problems you mentioned.  I did
persuade it to compile using the GNU C compiler, although it involved
copying stdlib.h from the first system, adding a type cast somewhere
and changing the names of some of the include files.  So far so good
and when you run the executable, up pops the familiar display.
Unfortunately, it totally refuses to recognise the <CR> key, so you
can't enter any text!!  <ESC>Z works fine, so you can exit, and if you
edit a file already containing text, you can insert more, etc., but
<CR> just doesn't work...  Also, if you invoke the program with no
command line argument, causing it to prompt you for a file name to
edit, you can type in the name, but <CR> is ignored at the end of it
and you just get stuck.  Anyone have any clues about what is going on?
Maybe I should just create an absolute binary executable on the IPC,
which ought to run on the othrer SPARC.  (With the normal executable
the run time link library has the wrong version and it bombs out.)
