I routinely do.  My tcsh works (almost) like EDT.  Here's my piece of
code in which I handle this on Unix:

#include 
#ifdef __GNUC__
#define term_cc_ term_cc__
#endif
int term_cc_( void ) {

   struct termio term;
   int status;
   
   if( (status = ioctl( 0, TCGETA, &term )) != 0 ) {
  perror( "term_cc" );
  exit( status );
   }
   
   return term.c_cc[VEOF];
   
}

To be used like here:


character*(*) function eofchar()
C ***
C **
C ***
C ***   Returns current EOF character.
C ***
C ***   19-OCT-1993 17:01:14.00 ML / IoA Cambridge
C ***
C **
C ***
implicit none

integer term_cc
integer cc

if( len(eofchar) .ge. 6 ) then

   cc = term_cc()
   if( cc.lt. 32 ) then
  eofchar = 'CTRL/'//char( cc + 64 )
   else
  eofchar = char( cc )
   end if

else
   eofchar = '>err<'

end if

end


And for chuckles:


#ifdef CURSES
#include 
#include 
#else
#include 
#endif
#include 
#include 
void eofexit_( void ) {
   
   char bp[1024], *escstr[1], Escstr[30], *term;
   
   escstr[0] = Escstr;
   
   term = getenv("TERM");
   if( term != NULL && *term != '\0' && tgetent( bp, term ) != 0 ) {
  tputs( tgetstr( "mr", escstr ), 1, &putchar );
  printf( " Exit " );
  tputs( tgetstr( "me", escstr ), 1, &putchar );

   } else {
  printf( "*Exit*" );
   }
   printf( "\n" );
   fflush( stdout );
}

A politically correct way of saying a bug?  :-)

If I get working actively on getting the current UNIX builds of SAMBA to work
on OpenVMS, I will again lobby the SAMBA team to fix their code, as they are
making the assumption that no one has changed the TERMINFO database.

Unlike VMS, UNIX can change the character from Control-D to almost any
character that they want.

You can even change the control characters for to work a lot like OpenVMS.  I
do not know anyone that has actually done that.

Hi.

Well, in this case, my opinion is that "bugs" is quite an over-reacting
word. I would have said "unsatisfactory defaults", or "erroneous message".

Anyway, you are perfectly right: smbclient was defaulted with a debug level
of 2, which is bad. I am going to set it to 0.

You are right for the "Control6D/Control-Z" stuff, too. As far as I tested,
the Control-Z key is what the VMS smbclient is waiting for, and it works
correctly when the message to be sent is terminated by Control-Z. So, I am
going to change "Control-D" with "Control-Z" in the message.

PS : more answers to come for your other messages.

Smbclient seems to be compiled with a noisy debug level.

When using it to send a message, it is requesting that the message be 
terminated with a Control-D.

For VMS that should be a Control-Z.

The UNIX code is wrong in that it is hardcoded to state Control-D, when 
the actual end of file character is configurable in the TERMIFO/TERMCAP 
database.  The UNIX version should be using a system call to determine 
what character to tell the user to use.

Of course that would have to be handled still differently on OpenVMS, 
but then it would be likely putting a macro in the config.h file to make 
that system call return a control-Z.
