VSC

Here are the notes I made while trying to run xvi under the OpenGroup's VSC POSIX test suite.

#! /bin/sh

#
# How to  install/run the OpenGroup VSC POSIX Unix Utilities test suite
# and run the "vi" test suite against xvi.
#
# Long story short:
# - It needs fixing in several places to be compilable.
# - Configuring it requires answering dozens of bizarre questions but for vi
#   you can get away with giving it random answers to most of them.
# - It doesn't work on Linux, refusing to run most of the vi tests because
#   "getconf POSIX2_UPE" returns "undefined" on Linux systems.
# - It is runnable on AIX, but only tests the contents of the files vi saves,
#   not the correctness of screen output.

and again running "ga05 popen vi" due to a bug in xvi.
If you kill vi in the three tests where this happens, the test runs to completion.
