I just posted a Macintosh version of microemacs 3.8 to mod.mac.binaries. It only uses one window, and doesn't have zoom boxes or lots of flashy stuff, but it works just fine for me and includes support for generic printers like my Tandy DMP 110. I wonder why more Macintosh applications do not support the rest of the world's printers. Microsoft seems to be the only big software company to have made any attempt to do so. (And if you happen to be able to use their printer driver, it's just extremely good luck.) I don't support the ImageWriter, since I don't own one and so can't debug code for it. I am posting "diffs" to mod.mac.sources that show how to generate a Macintosh version of microemacs. I include diffs for all of the microemacs sources I used, although many of them are small. The modules where I made drastic changes I am posting in their entirety, as well as "macterm.c" my Macintosh pseudo-terminal/event handler. My thanks to Dan Lawrence for microemacs 3.8, and to Joel West for time.c Contents: four shar files, mostly of diffs and small files used only with a Mac. macterm.c: pseudo terminal driver and event handler file.c: hacked up version of Dan Lawrence's file.s to use Standard File Package display.c: even more hacked up version of Dan Lawrence's display.c to take advantage of QuickDraw and to work with macterm.c
