[comp.unix.xenix] elm for 286

root@qnorth.UUCP (Qnorth super user) (10/05/89)

	At the office I use elm on a 386 and a Tower 32/400.  At home
	I am running a lowly 286 and I find porting elm a nightmare and
	a half.  Has anyone done it?  If yes, please E-mail your patches...

	Thanks,

With one exception, which is documented (complete with a patch), in the
README file distributed with the elm source, elm compiles just fine on
Microport System V/AT on a '286.  You must use large memory model, though.
There's also some instructions on getting it to compile under Xenix
'286.

Aside from this, I, too, would like help compiling elm on VentureCOM's
Venix [tm], version 2.2, which does not support large memory model
and has problems with long indentifiers.
