[comp.emacs] MicroEMACS 3.8b

Lawrence's MicroEMACS v3.8b is now anonymously ftp'able from bugs.nosc.mil .
Look in directory pub/MicroEmacs for emsrc38b.arc emdoc38b.arc & emexe38b.arc,
which are just as I found them on simtel20.arpa .  Also in directory
pub/MicroEmacs/Unpacked are the unARCed files  as well as the first
update, bugfix1.

Also, the makefile seems to have omitted input.c crypt.c and dolock.c from its
list of CFILES and their .o's from OFILES.  Fix that when you download.

I have now unpacked microEmacs 3.8b. I ran the MEIBM.EXE file
on my PC-AT; it worked, first time. The sources files are being
unpacked and transferred to a mail machine....

    Those of you who recompile uEMACS with MSC4.0 will have to modify
SPAWN.C. The system() function IS supplied in the runtime library and
should be used.  As it comes, system() gets redefined to invoke  the
spanwlp() function {spanwlp (P_WAIT, a, NULL)} which doesn't get you
what you want UNLESS a is an executable image.
