[comp.unix.xenix] Need EMACS source for SCO XENIX

rrodrigu@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA (Russ Rodriguez) (04/26/88)

Does anyone know of (or have) a distribution of EMACS (GNU or otherwise) that
can be compiled under SCO XENIX?  I'm interested in getting source code or
will settle for a compiled version. Even a small bit of help would be of
great value to me.

Thanks!
Russell Rodriguez

GnuEmacs 18.50 will work on SCO XENIX 2.2.* (386 box only).  18.50 is
distributed with the m-Intel386.h (machine defines) and s-xenix.h
(system defines) files that will work on sco xenix (with minor
hackery).

You can anonymous ftp Gnumacs from serveral places including prep and
ucbvax (documentation on this is available from lots 'o sources).

You can uucp Gnumacs from osu-cis.  The nice system admin posted a
messages to comp.sources.misc a couple of weeks ago about anonymous
uucp logins for most (all?) gnu software and more (news... rn..
appletalk).

This is for a friend of mine. Please EMAIL me replies (don't post).
--------------------
I need to run some sort of Unix on an (IBM) PC. I have a hard disk
(~20 Meg) and either 512K or 640K memory. Does xenix run on IBM's (and
their look alikes)? Is it fairly robust (for simple learning use),
and is it easy to install? Also, how much is it, and would most computer
stores have it readily available?

ALso, repeat above paragraph with 'Venix' instead of 'xenix',
as I know you can run venix on an IBM PC (lookalike). Also,
who makes 'venix'. (I assume 'xenix' is by microsoft?)
