9term, now there's a badly written piece a junk. i hacked it
a lot (on ultrix) so that it wouldn't call ioctl() on _every_
keystroke (yes i'd found some undocumented ultrix pty 'features'
to help me out). god, that program was awful. the goal, ok.
the implementation? the phrase 'thow up on your shoes' springs
to mind.
it was painful, i had time, jack daniels and ISDN.
