I am attempting to bring AKCL version 1.82 up on a 3/280 running SunOS4.0.1 and have run across two problems. The first problem involved an apparent failure cc: during the as phase of the compilation of cmptops.lsp, a long series of multiply defined symbols was encountered. This problem was circumvented by porting gcc and using it instead of the Sun cc compiler. The second problem I have not yet gotten around: after having "successfully" produced a saved_kcl (ie., no errors in any of the compilations or the make), it will not run either interactively or in compile mode. In particular, it produces the error message: Unrecoverable error: Someone allocated my memory! Abort (core dumped) in all circumstances. The core dump indicates that the failure occured in alloc. I tried superseding the value of MAXPAGE, reducing it to less than half the actual swap space on the 3/280 (Swap space 32Mbytes, MAXPAGE 12000) with no effect. Has anybody successfully ported AKCL under Sun4.0.X? If so, I would appreciate hearing about your experiences, and in particular i) if you have run across these problems, ii) if so, how you worked around them, and iii) if not, where you got your source, and what version you are using. After the 3/280 port, I need to do a 4/110 port; consequently, any comments on porting to a Sparc machine would also be appreciated. Please reply to u8vy@cornellf.tn.cornell.edu. Thanks in advance Sam Finn

Is there any way to disable the key-repeat function for a given window?
I am trying to use the "alternate" key as a function shift key for the
right keypad. Non-shifted output are numbers, in the numerical keypad
sense, but when the user holds the "alt. . ." key down, the R keys will
generate certain commands. Trouble is, if alt is held more than a second
or so, it starts repeating and messes up the state of the keypad.
