Re: [LINUX5250] OSX 5250

I got it to work on Mac OS X 10.2. I haven't tried 10.3 yet. On 10.2 it 
compiled fine "out of the box" so to speak.

I'm not using it for terminal emulation, though. I'm really using the 
scs2ps process. I made a change to the scs2ps to handle my printing 
needs. I don't know if the software has been updated since, as once I 
got it working, I left it alone. It's been very reliable.

In the scs2ps_process34() function:
• Change “scs_avpp();” to “/* scs_avpp(); */”
• Add a line under the “case SCS_AVPP:” line: “current_line = 
fgetc(stdin);”

This change allows vertical positioning to work correctly, which I use 
since I am handling formatted output (bills, statements, etc.).

I also tweaked some margin settings and character width settings to 
suit my fancy.

Hope this info is helpful to someone,

John
