> More (or less) like output would be very nice. The cat command > would benefit from this as well! It can be really simple. In OS-9 it was inmplemented in the tty device driver. Output stopped after 24 lines, the counter was reset on any keypress, 1 keypress was ignored, when it hit the system during wait state (to not let the wake-up-key make its way to the application). Of course, there was a command to change the number of lines and to disable this feature (they set lines to 0). I liked this build-in more very much and missed it a thousand times in other OSes. BTW, when I worked on SunOS3.5 with suntools, the suntools terminal emulator had this feature, too. The cursor changed to a stop sign, when the output was halted. 73, Mario - -- Mario Klebsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key available at http://www.klebsch.de/public.key Fingerprint DSS: EE7C DBCC D9C8 5DC1 D4DB 1483 30CE 9FB2 A047 9CE0 Diffie-Hellman: D447 4ED6 8A10 2C65 C5E5 8B98 9464 53FF 9382 F518 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: BGgFMc4Vd1tw818ChzoEPjqaXYIHp6Vd iQA/AwUBPGAfvjDOn7KgR5zgEQL8DwCeJP4rFiYZp0ds9fub0JTTyyX+viAAoIW9 YSAFZXpE1mTQ/iTdM+wMq4Hj =OWlp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
