Does anyone know how to get Gnu Emacs working on DECstation 3100 ? This machine uses a RISC chip made by MIPS. I have tried using m-mips.h as the machine configuration file, but the xmakefile file created by make does not look like something for Ultrix. Any suggestions ? I am using version 18.53. - Thye-Lai Tung (408) 765-0347 Intel Corporation, SC9-35 Santa Clara, CA.

1) Get the latest gnu-emacs (18.54) it works better on the decstation.
2) On DEC's unsupported products tape you will find verion 18.52 of Gnu
emacs. Look at the m-mips.h file and unexmips.c file and add them to
emacs 18.54.
Then compile and go.

We have done this but there seems to be a problem with query-replace acting flakey when the emacs is used under X on the console. (It seems to work fine if you login to the DECstation via a shelltool window from a Sun3.) When the cursor is at an occurence of the string you are searching for and you type "y" to confirm the replace action, nothing happens, or maybe it will after a few y's. Space bar can act like this too. Sometimes it causes the machine to beep at you. Anyone else seen this sort of thing? Thanks. -Doug Flanagan Cornell CS Dept. flanagan@cs.cornell.edu

Anyone else seen this sort of thing? Thanks. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have this problem on my 3100. isearch-forward exhibits the same behavior. Reverse search (isearch- backward) works fine. A related (I think) problem is that after typing (say) Meta-X, following characters are taken as control characters even though they weren't typed that way!!!! I call this feature 'Compose-mode' because it can be gotten out of by pressing the Compose key again. Ideas, anyone?
