cu to xenix

In the process of porting some code to a xenix box I developed some
handy habits I thought would be worthwhile sharing.

First thing I did was to copy /usr/share/lib/terminfo/s/sun over to
the xenix box into their terminfo database [to have a correct entry].

In my .cshrc on the Sun I then added:

alias	blech	'shelltool -Ww 80 -Wh 34 -WL "" -WI /home/klaus/xenix.icon \
	cu blech&'

NOTE: the line has been wrapped at the backslash for narroish windows.

When I start in the morning I say 'blech' and up pops a shelltool that
allows me to login to the xenix apparatus and use vi. After editing
some source I then say make >&errs, click on the frame and the shelltool
closes into the icon. That allows me to have things simmer on the xenix
box until they're well done.

When the disk stops rattling I click on the icon [there's no risk of confusing
it with any other icon on my console] to start laughing at the compiler
errors and so on.

Here's the xenix.icon:
