I am running uport/AT version 2.4, and was wondering if anybody out
there has had any luck getting emacs, jove or any other decent editor
running on uport. Information on where I can get the software and tips
on installing, building or whatever it needs would be greatly
appreciated. I do have sources for jove, but ran into all kinds of
problems when I tried to make it.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

I've used all of the major micro emacs'es, i.e. jove, uemacs and mg, on SV/AT. I currently use a version of mg that has been fixed in the following ways: - esc and ? work on file names, command names, and buffer names - there are no limits on line length or lines containing nulls. You can even edit binary files. uemacs version 10 seems to be a considerable improvement over previous releases, so you might want to consider it. I haven't tried it on SV/AT, but a previous version of uemacs worked, so I can't believe bringing it up would be much trouble. In general uemacs has more programmability, but ? doesn't work in file names, etc. I haven't had much trouble putting software from the net up on SV/AT, as long as it supports System V release 2 and doesn't require 32-bit int's or large arrays. However I haven't tried any of the maximally hairy packages such as netnews. (Of course Gnu Emacs, gcc, etc., are impossible, since the Gnu project assumes 32-bit processors with lots of memory.)

I do have sources for jove, but ran into all kinds of >problems when I tried to make it. I've ported jove 4.14 (the latest release) to Microport V/AT 2.4. Works pretty good, but I've got one small bug. Sometimes when I delete a line the screen isn't refreshed properly and another line disappears (it's not deleted, it is just erased from the screen - if I make jove redraw the screen it will show that other line okay). I also did some cleanup to the System V support (also, naturally, put in extra support for CCI's version of System V). I posted this rather than sending mail because I thought others might be interested. I could generate diffs for 4.14. >Thanks in advance, >Jon You're welcome. ----- Thomas V.

The "micro-emacs" called 'mg2a' compiled ok on my uPort without modification. -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans@wb3ffv.ampr.org Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047 (301) 965-3286
