I wonder if anybody could supply a few hints/tips on how to do the
following :
Two processes, two terminals:
Process A's terminal displays whatever process B's terminal shows,
AS IT HAPPENS.
The method should preferably be in a way such that process B is
unaware of anything happening AND the routine should only work
on the consent of the owner of process B.
I think this is clear; if user B types 'dir', then presses return,
his display will show 'dir' then a dump of his directory contents.
At the same time, on user A's screen, the same display will be seen.
Any good ideas ?
Jamie.

Hmmm...
I've daisychained VT241's using rgb coax... 8^)
How would you suggest that Process B grant permission to
Process A?
I assume that the permission could also be revoked?
There are various third party utilities to do this.

One third party program that succeeded in displaying the
Type ahead buffer was Control, however it occasionally
crashed the system.
Later versions may not have that "feature" :^).
I am under the impression things changed such that
UCB+TT_TYPAHD no longer points to the buffer containing
the users immediate input, rather the recall command buffer.
You have ahead of you a merry chase to try to find the
correct offsets, the easy thing is just to see how
TTdriver does it ;^).
Incidentally I received a call from a university
in NJ that had put hooks into mail "to study how people
communicate" and wanted to do the same for phone. This
is the type of thing hackers would do well to discourage!
