I have noticed that filename completion in uemacs 3.10 doesn't work beyond 32 characters, including the path. This occurs in the distributed ibm pc version and the version I have compiled on our Sequent Symmetry BSD-like machine. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone have a fix? -- Leila Burrell-Davis, Computing Service, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Tel: +44 273 678390 Fax: +44 273 678335 JANET: leilabd@uk.ac.sussex.syma INTERNET: leilabd%syma.sussex.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk BITNET: leilabd@syma.sussex.ac.uk UUCP: leilabd@syma.uucp

In input.c, routine comp_file, replace the reference to NBUFN with NSTRING (the buffer is statically declared with size NSTRING). This will give you up to 128 characters. Note: after around 70 characters you will run off the command line and not see what is completed anyway. -------- Whatever I say is my fault and no one elses! ----------- Richard G.
