I've acquired a HPUX 10.20 machine, and have applied Alexandre's patch to 21.1 and 21.2. The Unix 98 pty stuff is still horribly confused and crufty, as I pointed out in a previous message. A Unix 98 compliant system should not have code in a s&m file. If it does, grantp and friends should be used in the macro that OPENS the pty, not the one that prints its name! Unfortunately, this is the sort of change I'm usually responsible for. I'll try to find time to do Unix 98 ptys RIGHT. Martin
