CEO summary: I've found two tiny problems with using gnu emacs 18.54 under Interactive Systems 386/IX 1.0.6. These are really bugs in 386/IX I'm sure, but you might be interested in them. First, in etags.c there are two lines of code in the readline function that cause the compiler to gag. register char *pend = p + linebuffer->size; had to become register char *pend; pend = p + linebuffer->size; and buffer = (char *) xrealloc(buffer, linebuffer->size *= 2); had to become linebuffer->size *= 2; buffer = (char *) xrealloc(buffer, linebuffer->size); Pretty dumb compiler, right? The other thing is that when running a program under M-X Shell the output from the program doesn't show up until it terminates. For instance if I run ftp I don't see anything in the window until I type bye. The program is working, it just doesn't echo input until it exits. The emacs ftp commands all 'hang' (I hate to speculate) but it may be due to this self-same problem. Thanks.
