I just put up bash 1.04 on several BSD mini/mainframes here, and it looks good. There was one thing I felt I had to do, however - Richard Stallman, don't read this - I turned flow control back on. (Specifically, I commented out about 6 lines in readline.c, starting with /temp.t_stopc = -1;/.) It fixed some pretty serious problems with regular terminals, hooked up on various configurations of RS232 and Ethernet, which basically couldn't reliably handle the heavy line-editing load on something like autorepeating \C-p. It may also have fixed a problem I've had where, somewhere along the road, things get into a fix where small one-line bursts of output, e.g. from pwd, wouldn't get to the screen. Other than the loss of two editing control characters, does anyone see a down side to this? Donn Cave UCS Software, University of Washington donn@milton.u.washington.edu
