stty/sgtty in IRIX

[Loki Jorgenson]

	Here's a question for SGI types:  I have several times contemplated
building some of the communications packages we use on our SUNs such as
LWkit, a PostScript printer spooler, UW and MacLayers, multi-window
emulators for serial-line connected Macs, etc.

	However, these packages require BSD sgtty calls.  I have noted
the existence of <sgtty.h> and I wondered if there is any intention
to support these calls.  Or whether this include is there only to taunt
people like me.

	Alternately, is anyone familiar with the process of translating
sgtty-based programs to ioctl-based?  Would anyone like to do me a
favour?  I especially need the spooler.  Its pretty simple actually.

	Please, no one suggest that lpsched should be adequate.  I need
to use the BSD lpd for local consistency.

Regards,
                             _ _         _ _
