Greetings!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced difficulties with "qpage" on the AIX platform. I finally found the solution to the "got byte: \377" problem in an old message on the Big Brother message board.
In "qpage" version 3.3, which is the latest version (although it is several years old), a minor change has to be made in the source file "ixo.c".
In this file, there is a function named "remote_connect". In its local variable declarations, a variable named "c" is cast as a char. It has to be changed to an int.
Execute a "make clean" and then "make". It works perfectly after that.
I have been using "qpage" on Solaris for over four years and I love it! But I've been wanting to switch everything to a retired AIX server and this issue has been making me nuts for months!
I hope someone out there finds this information as useful as I did!
