To be quite honest? Because it was basically over my head at the time...its still sitting in my in-box waiting for me to come up with enough of the round tuits to figure out for sure what's going on with it. I got a few of those tuits today, but not enough to feel quite comfortable with committing it yet. I really don't want to commit code to this beast that makes it even more cluttered, or limited as to the platforms that it works on than it already is, so I want to be sure that we come up with a solution that works (assuming everything else in the code base would work, which is laughable at best at this point) on a variety of platforms. The getpt(), which I seem to remember seeing in Huiban's code, is, if I understand it correctly, Linux specific, but I could be wrong, and if so I'll gladly eat humble pie on this. :) For a similar reason, I haven't yet committed your patch like I said I was going to earlier...since it spewed out several warnings, I wanted to make sure that I knew for sure what was going on with it before I committed it. I've never worked with Unix98 PTY's, so I have a little bit of learning to do here. -- Jeff McAdams Email: je...@ig...
