Ditto

Is it possible to get the source for Ditto?
There is a glitch (June2000 CD Release) in ditto when it is monitoring a system with
‘follow active console’ set.
The ditto output doesn’t fully clear when the target system switches consoles, so the resulting
ditto output has leftovers on some lines (if they are blank on the new console they are not updated
properly).
Ditto does properly update when it switches the console it is monitoring (ctrl-E N).

New Info:
ditto does follow consoles properly if it is running on a console:
i.e. on node 2 watching node 1
ditto -kfq / /1/dev/con1
but not if you are running it within a telnet,

So I faked it out by starting a ditto on the target machine
that follows consoles, and then I ditto that console when I dial-in:
on -t /dev/con10 ditto -kfq /dev/con1
and in the telnet
ditto -kq /dev/con10


I’d still like to see the telnet ditto properly follow consoles so I don’t have to double ditto…
