Would anyone out there happen to have or know of A version of GNUemacs which runs on a Data General (MV10000) running AOS/VS for an operating system? If you would please let me know, my coworkers and I will be eternally grateful. I know this will probably reach a mostly unix world, but some of us poor slobs are still forced to slave away on Data General equipment. (Any other PD emacs would also be almost as useful, for that matter.) Thanks lots! Dennis Nicklaus GE Medical Systems P.O. Box 414, Dept.

At least, I haven't heard of any successes, and I would like to think that I am fairly up to date on what's available for DG/UX. Like you I am working on a DG MV system although we are able to run DG/UX rather than AOS/VS. I use DG's version of CCA Emacs, which is better than not using Emacs at all. However this version of Emacs has some real problems; there are a lot of things that aren't implemented fully. Number one in my book is that you can't write your own lisp code to customize it. It also doesn't seem to grind lisp code properly, but that could be a screw-up on my part. >Thanks lots! >Dennis Nicklaus >GE Medical Systems >P.O. Box 414, Dept.
