MicroEMACS (from the fish disks) 3.10 is documented as having been compiled with Aztec 3.6 and Lattice 3.03. I am attempting to use Lattice 4.0, with no success. I have modified the source to remove the warnings (return types, redefinition of pre-processor symbols, and structure usage as a parameter) but no joy. The program loads, and executes, but the cursor will not move around in the text area. Text IS being input (the input can be saved in a file) but it is not displayed in the text area. Has anyone faced and fixed this? roliver@nmsu.edu

I vaguely remember a fix file I have for something about cursor movement problems in MEMacs 3.10 on the Amiga. I will find it (it's around here somewhere...) and email it to you. +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+ | "They are ill discoverers that think there is no | Shawn P.

someone local to compile it for you and if that fails send me mail I'll arange to send you the working binary on disk. I have never had anything but trouble with lattice and I expect nothing less in the future. I compiled MicroEmacs 3.10 under every compiler I could get my hands on and the only ones I had trouble with were Lattice (msdos and amiga) and the MAC but I eventualy got it working on the MAC. I don't own a lattice compiler but the guy who tried to compile it for me sold his Lattice and bought MANX. I bought MANX and it compiled first try no errors and it even worked!

This isn't a problem with the compiler. It is a problem with the input routine of MicroEmacs 3.10. MicroEmacs will finish processing all input before before redisplaying the screen. But the input code for the Amiga, when checking to see if there is more input, will WAIT for more input. So hence, there is ALWAYS more input and the screen is NEVER redisplayed. A quick hack to get MicroEmacs working is a one-line change to always redisplay in main.c. I would like to get a hold of fixes to this problem. Can anyone tell me were they are available via FTP? Understand they are pending for comp.sys.amiga.sources, but I don't get that newsgroup on the Internet.
