Or you can wait for the release : of 119. Actually, I had no trouble recompiling telnet with term118. I'm using NetBSD-somewhat-current (May 2). I massaged the Makefile to use the termnet includes and library, typed "make" and away it went. I never tried ftp, but did get ncftp1.5.6 to compile in the same manner, and am quite happy. There have been a number of patches to term118 that may solve the problems you are having. Get a new copy, or just the patches from: ftp: physics.purdue.edu:pub/bcr/term If you get the file "term118.tar.gz" all the patches have already been applied. Otherwise, you can get all the term118pl0?.patch.gz files that you don't already have and do your own patching. Last time I looked, there were 6 patch files. -- Benjamin Lewis (blewis@vet.vet.purdue.edu)
