Hi all,

Chris Jankowski <chris_at_lagoon.meo.dec.com> has asked me to repost the
summary with the original problem statement. My apologies, I meant to do
this originally but forgot.

Problem Statement:

Accessing a V3.0 or V3.2 system from a PC using KERMIT Telnet, line 25
of the PC display (status line) is overwritten by output from 'more'.
The problem is not seen on ULTRIX or SUN machines and is not seen when
using NCSA telnet.

Answer:

There is a bug in the V3 more. The cure is to use the V2 more.

Thanks to

Michael A. Crowley <mcrowley_at_mhc.mtholyoke.edu>
Andrew T. Lloyd <atlloyd_at_acer.gen.tcd.ie>
Michael R. Kline <mike_at_lib.utexas.edu>
Brian Domenick <brian_at_yoda.fdu.edu>
Mike Iglesias <iglesias_at_draco.acs.uci.edu>

for replying, especially Andrew for access to a V2 more.

Michael Crowley said that he had seen a similar problem with Linux, but
having checked a Slackware Linux machine I can't confirm it.

If someone from DIGITAL reads this list, can we have a statement as to
when more will be fixed?

Alan
