I am trying to interface X windows and gnuemacs 18.49 under system V (AT&T Release 2) on an NCR 32/600. Apparently, it will not work as is. Is anyone running something similar?. If not, is anyone aware of why does it not work and the extent of the changes necessary. As a minimum, where should I start looking in the source files to find out the cause of the problem?. Thanks... --arp

Which problem are you talking about? The X10 implementation that you have is streams-based and the emacs code assumes a 4.x socket interface. But that's only the start. You can get it up and running only to die when there are any operations on the window. The calls on X get clobbered by an SIGALARM (probably set in the code that tries to overcome the lack of select() in SysV). Given an error return, the default is to die. -- -Mike Wescott wescott@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM
