what are posix semantics?
perhaps wrongly, i'd assumed that the posix standard
implied some semantics in defining its file API, and
ron was referring to those. perhaps it defines less

what's especially wrong about this is that /bin/time is supposed

do you have something funny bound on /dev?
having said what i said - yes, i realise that a mistaken
bind -b means that i was using drawterm's /dev/time,

any loss of continuity, and the Undo/Redo history
is a very useful part of my acme context.
while i'm about it,

Firstly, how many of you using Acme for programming on a daily basis remap

every so often using drawterm (mac os version) i've been getting

nope. the server is VMware on the same machine.
