Worth sharing these two articles with info-encore and comp.emacs.
Don't remember if bzs' article touched on any of this.  -len

Subject: s-umax.h

The s-umax.h file (for multimax) in the 18.49 distribution is missing
a few useful lines off the bottom.  The comment about the lines indicates
that they should be removed in the case that the machine type is a DPC
instead of APC.  But they should be included in the distribution at least
as comments.   Below are the missing lines.

Also, the multimax 'make' seems to have problems with ^L and tab characters
in the wrong places.  The ^L is easy to find (in s-umax.h), but I could
not locate where the offending tab characters were coming from.

/* Encore machines with APC processor boards align sections on 4M
   boundaries, so it is not easy to remap the start of the text segment
   in the unexec() routine.  The following two lines are needed for
   APC systems, but should be deleted for DPC based systems.  */

Make gets snotty about lines with just whitespace;

try sed 's/^[<space><tab>]*$//'
