I am running MicroEMACS 3.8b with MINIX PC 1.5.10. It compiles without problems, but documents are limited in length to 25 or 30 KByte. You do not need Turbo-C, although it may increase speed, but this is not critical because MicroEMACS is really fast. Do you speak of a PD lex? I tried to compile flex (with a few modifications), but there is not enough stack memory for running it. For this and some other minor reasons, I am desperatly seeking a standard lex which compiles and runs on PC MINIX with 64+64 limit. Please write why you are using Turbo-C. Which problems do you have compiling it with the MINIX C compiler? If you have such a thing, please post it or put it to a ftp server. A lot of people here really would be glad to have standard lex for MINIX. I got the Berkely yacc patches from plains.nodak.edu: If we have lex too, we can think of building new compilers!!!! Please do not email me, I have to pay for email I GET! Posting is a better way, because replies related to this article should be of general interest. (I hope so.)
