Hi folks, I am a seasoned (!) Emacs lover, and I am regrettably forced to use a VAX running under VMS - well, a MicroVAX II under MicroVMS 4.3 to be exact. Now, I've more or less standardised on microEMACS 3.7 on all the other machines I use, but not having C on the VAX, I can't bring it up under VMS. Could any kind soul out there post me a binary of microEMACS for VMS please? Any reasonably recent version would be fine. I don't know whether the config of the VAX has to be taken into account; I suppose that the best bet would be a version that was compiled under identical hardware/software. PLEASE send me mail first if you would be willing to post this to me; then we can discuss the best way to send it (and I can avoid more than 1 person sending it). Thanks in anticipation!

I am is the same situation, so if you need votes for posting I'll vote yes. SaS PS: The problem will be now to post the binary for VMS. VMS is picky about file structure.

VMS is picky about >file structure. There is a program called VMSHEX that comes with VMS KERMIT, which ASCIIfies VMS files while retaining their file attributes. It's written in MACRO (which nearly *every* VMS site ought to have), so I'd suggest using that format for a MicroEMACS binary posting. Mic Kaczmarczik U.T.

If anybody would like a copy of MicroGNUEmacs 1b compiled for VMS 4.4, there will be a copy on the VAX SIG library tape from the Spring DECUS symposium in Nashville. (If you're in a hurry, drop me some E-mail and maybe we can work something out.)

The 3.8i release of memacs is ~103k for VMS with most things turned on.
That's a bit big to post in ASCII. Can you do a BACKUP, uuencode it,
and recover it at the other end? BACKUP seems to know about file types.
