A few small fixes to the new version 3.9e, shortly to be posted to the net somewhere. I will post my first set of fixes to the documentation in a few days. If you run a SysII/SysV system be sure to grab the fix in termio! This posting has one VMS enhancement, and several small changes. I have only run it on a few SysV machines, and only a few hours total. Looks *really* good. -- Reason for change: Addition of this change allows the emacs.rc file to be in the login directory rather than the current directory. Could also be "sys$login:[bin]" or something like that. Changes to epath.h: 70a71 > "sys$login:", Reason for change: When the VT100 option is selected there is a missing "{". Rather than put it in both places, which messes up my formatter, I placed it on a line by itself. Second change allows RETURN to be a quoted character in search or replace strings without being turned into a newline. This makes adding or deleting returns from files much easier. Changes to input.c: 357c357 < if (c == metac) { --- > if (c == metac) 358a359 > { 413c414 < if (c == (CTRL | 0x4d)) --- > if (c == (CTRL | 0x4d) && !quotef) Reason for change: When the USG (SysIII/V) option is selected, stdin is placed in polling mode without setting the flag to indicate that this has been done. This causes all input to be done in polling mode, making CPU time = the clock time. While this is not obvious on a single user system, on a large system it is not acceptable. This change sets the polling flag when polling mode is used. There was also some code to loop on input, caused by the polling flag error. I removed it. Changes to termio.c: 431,432c431 < while (read(0, &kbdq, 1) != 1) < ; --- > read(0, &kbdq, 1); 489a489 > kbdpoll = TRUE; -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
