The message below is posted for someone else. Please reply to the address at the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have two questions for users of MicroEMACS 3.10: 1. Has anyone been able to get it running on a Sun 4 ? If so, could you please e-mail me the tricks involved? A colleague's recent attempt failed because of problems in: UNIX.C (CTRL redefined; missing ndir.h ) BIND.C (undeclared initializer name(s) f and n in help(f,n) ) 2. Has anyone else had trouble with the filename completion on the PC version? (it disallows keyboard input when "getting" a file with a name that is similar to the one being edited --- this is using the MEIBM.EXE directly from the SIMTEL20 archives from LISTSERV@RPIECS). I would be very happy to give more details of the problems if they seem familiar to anyone. I would very much appreciate the advice/comments of those who have overcome these obstacles. BTW, is this the only mechanism for reporting bugs/problems with MicroEMACS 3.10? SJO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott J.

I did have 3.10 "working" on Sun4, and I think the trick I used was to include /bin/5sys in my PATH and compile using SystemV options. Sorry, I don't remember the details. -- - bill davidsen (davidsen@crdgw1.uucp) GE Corp. R&D Center; Box 8, KW-C206; Schenectady NY 12345
