[comp.sys.att] Emacs for System V?

jte@psuvax1.UUCP (Jon Eckhardt) (03/16/87)

Does anyone have a version of Emacs (or uemacs) that runs 
under System V?  I would like to use this editor on my
AT&T 3B2/300 and thus far have not had much sucess with finding
a version what will run on it.  Could someone please mail me
the src, or tell me of a place that I can ftp it from?  Or better
yet,  a lot of other people may also want this program and it
maybe be worth a post.  Thanks for any info/help you can give me.

we have uemacs 3.7 up and running on our 3b2's, so if you can get
this, it definitely works (however, it doesn't exactly like the 4425
terminals -- something's not quite right with the termcap, I think).
we have micrognuemacs too, but haven't had time to install it.

I don't have the src or I'd mail it to you, but some kind netter out
there probably will anyway.  Good luck!

GNU Emacs runs just fine on any flavor of 3B, and lots of other SysV
machines.  Note the "Posting-Front-End:" line above tacked on by the
news-reply function.  (I read and write both mail and news inside GNU
Emacs.  Cbstr1 is a 3B15.)

It can be ftp'd from prep.ai.mit.edu.  Look in /u2/emacs.

Emacs-tc is in the AT&T Toolchest. It uses the terminfo
database.  A company wide source license goes for $900.

i have gnuemacs running on my 3b2/300 under 5.3.  YOu are welcome to the
objects if you want them.  Alternately you can ftp if from mit and
recompile yourself, after modifying the config file appropriately.  The
only problem with this is that it takes lots of disk space to install the
thing.

Let me know if anyone out there wants it and i'll arrange for anon ftp from
my 3b2.

Simon

ps:  you MUST have 5.3 to run this object code.

pps:  it works fine in layers on the dmd (except for the ^S/^Q problem)

In order to avoid letting folks be misled, let it be widely stated and
understood that GNU Emacs does *NOT* require System V Release 3.  It
runs just fine on System V.anything, with nearly identical ease across
the board.  I am running it on a V.2.1.1 3B15 at the moment, and have
it installed on V.[23] 3B2s and V.0 VAXen as well.

   pps:  it works fine in layers on the dmd (except for the ^S/^Q problem)

If you have problems with GNU Emacs in DMD layers, it is probably
because you (incorrectly) have your DMD set up for flow control.  In
the Host Options menu, make sure you have Gen Flow set to OFF and Pass
Flow set to YES.  I have no troubles with ^S/^Q at all in this manner.

Karl is correct about the sysV problem; I meant that **MY** object code
needed sysv.3 (ie if someone just wanted my code and did not want to
recompile his/her own).  That's why the note said ``object code'' not just
``code''.  sorry for any misunderstanding.  In fact the gnu i use as
compiled using the att-sys5.2.2.h config file. (or whatever it is actually
called). 

Inasfar as the ^s/^Q problem goes: thanks for the hint.  I'll try that.
