From: sequent!phil@ut-sally.UUCP (GSP) Earlier, I posted diffs run 17.45 on DYNIX 2.0. Note that if you use patch it will drop the _NEW_ file "m-sequent.h" which should be used, so do that by hand. Also, the next release of GNU emacs will use alloca.s instead of the C version. If you would like a version of alloca.s that works on the Balance, please mail me a note. A C compiler bug in dealing with shorts in registers was discovered that prevents the scroll screen commands from working properly. Please include the following three lines in "m-sequent.h" to make C-v and M C-v work properly (until C compiler is fixed). ---- addition to "m-sequent.h" ---- /* This triggers some stuff to avoid a compiler bug */ #define TAHOE_REGISTER_BUG ---------------------------------------- --Phil Hochstetler, Sequent Computer Systems, Inc.
