[net.emacs] Emacs on 4.2

chris@umcp-cs.UUCP (10/08/83)

I have been told (by the guy who did the 4.1c code, Chris Kent) that my
version of Emacs/mchan.c does not run under 4.2 (yes, they changed things
again).  Since I don't have 4.2 it's hard for me to say what needs doing.
For the Emacs diehards out there:  look at the signal stuff, and the
ttyaccept/ttyconnect code; that's what doesn't work.  To unix-wizards:
can anyone come up with a definitive list of 4.1c/4.2 differences?

We also have emacs running under 4.2 and noticed that eot-process does
not work. Other problems that I've heard, some of which are not related to
4.2:
	The needs-checkpointing variable doesn't seem to work (can't
	set the default so that buffers are not normally checkpointed).

    	The occur package has illegal string constants in it causing it to 
	bomb when being loaded.

	We received no new documentation on how to use insert-share-filter
	given that we cannot use the C routine on page 65 which assumes
	4.1 mpx files.
