I have managed to get ELM2.3 up and runninng on my 3b1's and my SCO Zenix. Now for the the Tandy 6000. Nope. It dumps core and dies on . config.sh So I just put the config.sh in front of the substitution routines and ran that. appeared to work. Did a make all and it started spitting out compiler error messages like crazy and died very shortly. I am certainly open to any ideas. ELM is abit like a psycho-active drug, once you have had it, you seem to want to have some more. -- R.K. Wright uunet!medex2!rkw

Is the Tandy running System III or System V, I don't remember RS issuing a SysV for the 6000. If its Sys III based Xenix, then good luck... You have many problems to overcome. One is the long identifiers we use. The older C compilers only allowed 8 chars for the identifiers, and ignorned anything over that, well in Elm there are lots of identifiers that match for the first 8 chars. Then their is the System call interface problem, some of the features Elm uses are part of System V and were not in System III. It can be done, Altos Users have ported Elm to their older box, but, most haven't tried doing so with 2.3, they stopped with 2.2. And, we have NO INTENT of supporting a System III version of Elm. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.
