768.2Break key issueKETJE::STEUKERSThu Jun 01 1995 10:1619
Hi,


I don't know if it is the goal to solve the break issue in PCM V1.6, but like it
is implemented I don't like it as it is confusing.

The fact that a computersystem can be halted by sending a break signal to it, or
by sending a software control code, like CTRL-P, explains that this is a PCM
SYSTEM property. The way it is implemented in PCM T1.6 defines the "break key"
as a PCM USER property.

Ie the user can set its properties, so that they don't match with the physical
halt definition of a computersystem.

I would recommend that the BREAK key definition becomes a SYSTEM property, which
can be set to CTRL_A, CTRL_B, ... CTRL_Z or BREAK_SIGNAL .

Please comment,
Erik.

Erik,
     we have had comments both negative and posative about the way we
do "Break". The concept of a System Based Halt sequece was something 
which was planned for the next major version. It will NOT be in V1.6.

768.5Fixed (I think).ZEDAR::simonSimon Jackson 830 x3879Fri Jun 02 1995 16:346
Geert,
      I made some changes to the Priv checking stuff in the C3 this
week and I cannot reproduce the problem. We hope to put this one
out Monday. Probably V1.6-011. Try that one when it hits the street.

Cheers Simon...
