In 4bsd, this returns an int (at least, that's how it's declared) but in 2.8, it's an off_t. This causes hangs to happen immediately after the instructions. Another good thing to do is make sure your output is buffered. curses doesn't do this automatically, but the normal 2bsd stdio does. If you're not running a stdio that buffers, a setbuf in the appropriate place will work wonders. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
