Andy, ELLE came across great. Bitnet even got it :-) The only problem I had getting it to work was that I ..um.. er.. (how do you admit to pulling a dumb one?) forgot to set my TERM type (AND export it). I've used "real" emacs, so I didnt bother with the MINED profile, but the 'Set Mark' key wasn't bound (its listed twice in your reference, once as setting Mark, and the other as 'debugging'). This was readily solved by stealing the key binding from the minix .ellepro.e. Other than that, I've been using it with no problems. I edited a 96K file with no problems, and am tickled to find how fast elle moves through files, even on disk (I've got a hard disk tho). The screen redrawing on a PC Clone at 8MHz/no waitstates is noticeable, but not terribly bothersome; I just keep on typing. I'd really like to see somebody solve the link problem by splitting up asld into separate assembly and link steps. This would make compiling a LOT faster, I think. Now to get the sources and see what the thing is really made of... Glen Overby Bitnet: ncoverby@ndsuvax uucp: uunet!ndsuvax!ncoverby, ihnp4!umn-cs!ndsuvax!ncoverby

ELLE did not make it here to 'killer' in any shape or form - mangled or whole. A repost would be appreciated. Thanks Don
