For the last 2 weeks, I have been looking for a decent editor for Xenix. It
has been an uphill battle. I first downloaded the source for Micro EMACS,
tweaked all the defines and tried to compile. Got a few warning messages and
then a message from the linker to the effect "DGROUP > 64k" or something. So,
not knowing the Dev't sys that well, I just downloaded the source for Jove.
Jove requires one to tweak the Makefile. Using my current word processor,
Lyrix, I tweaked the Makefile, wasting all Tab characters in the process
(which Make requires I believe). Jove won't compile anyway. I believe the
problems lie in jove.c and one other program. Can someone mail me an
executable of Micro EMACS and possibly an explanation of how to get the thing
to compile (I think I have 3.8i).
Thanks in advance.

If you get the distribution from hipl.psych.nyu.edu, or cs.rochester.edu, or soon from comp.sources.unix, all you have to do to compile under Xenix is: - edit the makefile according to the instructions given in it - in the file tune.h, comment out the following #defines BSD4_2 BSD4_3 LOAD_AV JOB_CONTROL After these changes Jove should compile and run fine. I know the setup could be made easier. It will happen in the next version.

Ben, you could probably eliminate this problem by putting '-Dt128' in your compiler and linker command line. It causes any static data larger than that number of bytes to be assigned another segment, also make sure you compile using large model, then things should work. >....

You can get the binary from turnkey quite quickly as we talk to crash, however I suggest you check with Bill Blue first. If he is agreeable and drops me a note I will tell him the relevant files and paths. Best of luck, -- Jack F.
