I'd just like to express my appreciation to those of you who responded to my request for help in stopping uEMACS 3.10 going ``BONG'' on my ST. I finally fixed it when I discovered that the `mousehidden' variable (number of calls to hide_mouse) was called something totally different on my m/c. All I have to do now is fix the bug that causes it to crash when I try to shell out... (a 4-bomb crash). Any offers ...? Thanx again, -Chrisl. -- "Time is an illusion.

Yes, 3.10 as distributed CANNOT SHELL OUT. Part of the problem is that it attempts to use MWC library routines without being "in" a MWC shell environment. The other part is that there is no attempt to clean up GEM and the mouse handlers before shelling out. I have resolved most of this by reworking "atari.c" and "st520.c", (i-shell works, filters and pipes are broken.) I am planning on integrating 3.10 with micro-rtx and your favorite shell to provide a shell co-process. If this takes too long I might be convinced to post the repaired source files to allow at least i-shell functions. -- -Mark Roddy seqp4!markr@m2c.org m2c!seqp4!markr
