I think I see a few bugs, 1) mouse cursor disappears below the 24th line when using 43/50 line modes. I don't use mouse in 43/50 line mode. 2) $backup went away (?) I ended up using a macro on the $readhook to do it. 3) original screen colors aren't restored on exit. I ended up using a bat file to clean up. If anybody has fixes for these I'd like to get them. -------- Darrell McGinnis ...tektronix!pogo!darrellm Tektronix, Inc., P.O.

mouse driver.

4) Not microemacs itself, but a problem I encountered with the
box macros -- they assume you are in overwrite mode, so if
you already have text, the box doesn't get drawn correctly.
Older version that I remember using didn't seem to have this
problem.
5) Not sure if it has this feature already: I'd like to be
able to turn on and off the automatic execution of commands
when I use the space bar to complete the command.

I noticed this problem on a 386-clone using a Logitech mouse and an STB VGA-Extra/EM video card but not on a Compaq Deskpro-386, with Compaq-EGA and Manager-mouse. I would like to hear of any fixes or related pointers, since I realy would like to be able to mouse-around.

I had the same problem, and found that it was something wrong with my Logitech driver (version 3.4).

Anyone else have I think this was already a "feature" of the previous version. I finally got so annoyed and looked it up. For some reason the second parameter of "flook" is FALSE, when it looks for the help file. I didn't see any reason for it, and changed it to TRUE and at least my version 3.9e worked fine after this. The following diff is for that version, I don't have 3.10. *** bind.old --- bind.new ************** *** 23,29 bp = bfind("emacs.hlp", FALSE, BFINVS); if (bp == NULL) { ! fname = flook(pathname[1], FALSE); if (fname == NULL) { mlwrite("[Help file is not online]"); return(FALSE); --- 23,29 ----- bp = bfind("emacs.hlp", FALSE, BFINVS); if (bp == NULL) { ! fname = flook(pathname[1], TRUE); if (fname == NULL) { mlwrite("[Help file is not online]"); return(FALSE);

I'm using a Logitec C-7 mouse, the 3.02 driver I have works. the 3.42 driver I have works on the first 24 lines only. This behaves the same on a Compaq 386 and an AST 386C, both have a V7 Vega VGA.

Another bug in MicroEmacs... In 43-line mode smooth scroll seems to think
it's still in 24-line mode. It might be related to my mouse driver
(Logitech V. 3.42) but I doubt it...

I had the same problem with Microsoft Quick C, I have a Logitech Bus-Mouse which is supposed to be hardware compatible with Microsoft Mouse. So I loaded the Microsoft Mouse driver that came with the Quick C program instead of the Logitech Mouse driver. It works fine. If you happen to have the same mouse, this could work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Joubert | /\ | /\ | _ Internet: jpdres13@usl-pc.usl.edu | \|<>|>|> \|<>|>|><`|`| USENET: ...!{dalsqnt,killer}!usl!usl-pc!jpdres13 |--/|-------/|------------ Last Chance: ut-sally!usl!usl-pc!jpdres13 | \/ \/ GEnie: J.JOUBERT -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have had no problems in 43 line mode using a Paradise EGA card. I am using nansi.sys instead of ansi.sys. The only problem I have seen is that when I shell out to DOS I loose the cursor and it never comes back. Right now I am looking over the code and have a seperate assembly code program that fixes the problem. I would like to incorporate this into the code directly or execute the assembly program first when shelling to DOS. If I have any luck I will send the patches and code to Raul for him to post.
