I built an Emacs on my Apollo station. It works fine, except a slow initialization. In $EMACS/etc/APOLLO, it is mentioned that "The Apollo has a bizarre operating system which does not permit Emacs to be dumped with preloded pure Lisp code". It also mentioned that "Here is a design for a method of dumping and reloading the relevant necessary impure areas of Emacs". What I don't understand is whether this will solve the problem, and how it can be done since I don't what to do after I looked the $EMACS/ etc/alloc.c file. Another question,can we still order "Emacs, the Extensible, Customizable Self-Documenting Display Editor" and "A Cookbook for an Emacs" from Publication Department of AI Lab with $2.50 and $3.00 each? If not, where can I find a source to get them? Thanks. Yi Zhao Department of Computer Science University of Houston yzhao@cs.uh.edu

Well, there are easier methods of doing this. If you look on prep.ai.mit.edu, one of the files there is an version of emacs for the apollo (18.54) that solves this problem. I also have patches of this to apply for 18.55. > Another question,can we still order "Emacs, the Extensible, >Customizable Self-Documenting Display Editor" and "A Cookbook for an >Emacs" from Publication Department of AI Lab with $2.50 and $3.00 each? >If not, where can I find a source to get them? Get the GNU Emacs Manual from FSF. Their address is Free Software Foundation 675 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02139 The manual is/was $15. -- Roger Fujii - Media Cybernetics Phone: (301)495-3305 Internet: rmf%media@uunet.uu.net UUCP: {uunet,hqda-ai}!media!rmf
