Hi all!
I was looking in my manual recently. The manual that I have is for the 3.51 OS.
and the tset(1) info makes reference to /etc/ttytypes(5) for which I can find
neither an actual file nor a page in my manuals.
Am I missing something from my manuals, or is it just not there? Does anyone
have the format that this file is _supposed_ to take? I've looked on other
unix systems that I have access to. On the three systems I've looked on, none
of them have an /etc/ttytypes file. The tset(1) man page does note that this
version of tset is for the AT&T Unix PC only, which leads me to believe that
other unix systems would not have the /etc/ttytypes file on them.
I can kludge my way around the use of this file, but it's not as elegant as
I'd like. If anyone could tell me the format of this file, and/or whether or
not it really makes a difference, it would be appreciated.
Thanks again for all your wonderful assistance!!!

P.P.S. Hey, kls at ditka, I didn't put a garbage "Followup-To:" line in this
post. However, I don't understand why that was a bad thing to do.
No flames intended, just asking.
