I just finnished moving 18.46 from the unix tarred/compressed version to a vax VMS .exe. Took a few hours but here are some of the bugs to to took for. If you are using eunice you have to remove those pesky $'s from the filenames. Also the biggest problem with the VMS version is that man versions of vms dont allow -'s in filenames. Thus you have to use _'s. If you do this you have to change every file in the build sequence to have _'s in them. If you VMS can handle -'s then you should think about changing the [lisp] and [info] files to -'s. I have a .com file to do this ... but since it invokes gnuemacs to do some string crunching. If you have any problems send me mail and I will help you best I can. Bob -- mende@rutgers.edu {...}!rutgers!mende mende@zodiac.bitnet

Has anyone moved the GNU emacs Unix distribution to VMS. I have compiled and linked everything but there seems to be a missing file emacs.com which is needed to start emacs. I presume that this loads up all the startup macros. Could someone out there please e-mail me a copy. Thanks. Richard Liu D D
