Hi Sindi,

Thanks for your response.

I had just downloaded and installed bin.tgz from the Slackware 4
repository, so i tried splitvt with this command:

$ TERM=vt100 splitvt

Result: it looked like my screen got split at first, but followed by
an error message, and then a return to the regular prompt and un-split
screen. The error message was:

$ No available pseudo terminals

I googled that and read responses to your question about this
same issue back in 2007, on this list. But I can't figure out
how to make splitvt work. Here is the output on my BasicLinux
computer of this command:

$ ls /dev/pt* /dev/tt*
