[comp.emacs] emacs line numbers and COMPILED emacs setup files

v087mxgb@ubvmsa.cc.buffalo.edu (Shawn E Thompson) (12/01/90)

Hello all,

I am running Microemacs religiously, and also have
Prime's implementation of Emacs for their Prime
boxes.

On Prime, there are two very nice features.....

1.) there is a line number mode, that turns on
    line numbers (as a vertical window next to 
    the beginning of each line), great for debugging.

2.) the set-up files (analagous to Emacs.rc), are
    compiled so they load up faster.

This is one of two things Prime does a great job of
(the other being their great Fortran compilers...
oh yeah, and good DOC's).

Is there any way I can get such features on MicroEmacs
and Emacs on a SPARCstation????
