Woohoo... I created all 8 sets, so now I have 256 pty pairs. Not like I need all of them, but I know they're there. And I have proof that at least some of them work... Whereas before I could have no more than 31 xterms open, I have 125 open right now. Life is good. :) On Tue, Mar 13, 2001 at 12:00:17PM +0000, Ian Dowse wrote: > In message <20010312232339.A21734@cec.wustl.edu>, Andrew Hesford writes: > >I want to add extra tty/pty pairs.
