Dear NetBSDers,
I remember someone complaining about (I think) pine not
including <stdio.h> for lseeks (64 bit file lengths) which caused some
problems with pine. I was able to "build neb" with only a few warnings
about scan_dir(?) 4th parameter type mismatch.
However when I attempted to run pine it complained:
Can't access terminal or input is not a terminal. Redirection of
standard input is not allowed. For example "pine < file" doesn't work.
I was telneting in and TERM was set to xterm. Pico has related problems
in that I can fire it up but typing control-X does not exit (just shows
^X and control-c aborts out of the program.
It seems there is some problem dealing with the terminal characters and
signals.
The indication of machine neb is set up for 0.9 thru 1.0A.
I am running the distribution 1.1 netbsd for i386.
Thanks in advance for any pointers to resolve these problems.
