He says that this is the last application for NetBSD that still requires the COMPAT_43 stuff. And now the interesting news: their getty(8) has already been converted! So somebody with a bit of time to burn should have a look at their getty implementation, and see if we could steal^H^H^H^H^Himport it without much hassles. Our getty is the most prominent application from the core system that's still using this old crap. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
