What is samx2 and where can I find it ?
Another question: Has anybody ported sam(term) to Linux? After some tries
I succeeded in porting, but I'm not familiar with UNIX programming, and
indeed I really don't know exactly what I've done :-)

I had no trouble compiling the current ATT&T sam distribution for
linux. I used the default makefiles with -DLINUX -ansi -D_POSIX_SOURCE.
I didn't have to touch and code.

I also compiled Sam for Linux starting from the Solaris
makefiles. Even with the samx2 extensions, it compiled cleanly, and
works like a charm.

which version of sam are you using ?? i tried the october-93 version (4.1)
(w/o patches) and started from the Solaris Makefiles. all works fine.

Samx2 is a set of patches which give some keyboard customisation facilities
to sam. The author is at uiuc.edu, but I can't remember the ftp site where
the patch lives; if the worst comes to the worst I could mail you a copy.

Yes -- I have done a working port, but there's still one minor problem with
named pipes that means I have to start sam up in a slightly nonstandard way!
I started from the defines for IRIX -- the Silicon Graphics OS is one of the
closest to POSIX and therefore Linux that I've ever come across -- and fixed
it on that basis.
I think the startup bug is probably due to the interaction of some of the
patches I have in my sam; I'll investigate further. Basically, I have to
chuck a carriage return down the named pipe before Sam will do anything...
however, from then on it's perfect!

I have been happily using sam with the samx2 extensions. One problem,
though, keeps me from recommending it to others. It dies periodically,
scaring off the fainthearted. I have the October 1993 version of sam,
which the patches don't support, and with good reason since they
produce 4 reject files in libXg. My question is can I get the 3/12/93
version of sam anywhere, or has anyone reconciled samx2 with the
October version of sam?
