This is from memory of a few years ago when Coherent was moved from sgtty to termio: If iBCS2 compatibility is a consideration, there may still be SCO apps out there which expect the V7 calls. I suspect a fair number of them will never be recompiled. There are a dozen or so SCO-specific extensions to the standard iBCS2 system call table - including as I recall stty and gtty.
