Aunc.963 NET.eunice utzoo!duke!unc!whm Tue Jul 7 04:19:48 1981 4bsd Vi After some tricky editing, I have gotten the 4bsd version of Vi to work under Eunice. If anybody is interested, I'll forward the gruesome details of getting it to work.

One unusual problem is that Vi works fine from the Cshell, but from the U command, the FD_Fab_Pointer table gets "overlaid" by something after a certain sequence of commands. (Solution?-->Install a front end that execve's Vi). Has anyone had this problem with other programs.

Has anybody tried to get the 4bsd Cshell to fly, I've got to get those pushd's and popd's back!

Or, how about a good way to control, i.e. stop, a process started by an exec* system call. I've done some experimentation and it seems as if it could be done reasonably well with some type of special exec call that wrote stuff into a shareable image. Are there any specific ideas on ways to do this?
