Unfortunately the previous posting got lost.
Hope that doesn't confuse things too much. I am
including my most recent diffs deal with the problem that a termcap
file name is sometimes sent to init_terminal_io() instead of a
file name (see <767@accuvax.nwu.edu>) as well as the backspace
problem. Here are quotes from the original posting:
I believe that there is a bug in redline.c where the termcap backspace
string is read. It seems this string "term_backspace" is never actually
set to the correct value.
Also I had to add a couple of declartions to get it to compile with the
Sun C compiler (SunOS 4.0) on Sun 3's and 4's. Here are the diffs.
