Emacs 2.0, the NextStep front end to GNU emacs is available on the purdue Next Archives (sonata.cc.purdue.edu and the other machine I can't remember just now) as pub/next/2.0-release/source/Emacs-2.0.tar.Z This is the much-awaited version that works with version 2.0 of the NeXT OS. -- _.John G.

Hm... Well, I got the tar from precisely the location you mentioned and it does not compile on a NeXTstation running 2.0. When you do a make it looks for an include file called something like, /usr/include/streams/error.h . Now this file does exist on NeXT version 1.0, but not in the extended shipment of 2.0. I believe you must have compiled the code on NeXT cube that used to have 1.0 on it, but then was upgraded. Possible? Anyway, it looks like it will be great... but not yet.

Works great, so why compile! Charlie

Well, I got the tar from precisely the location you mentioned >and it does not compile on a NeXTstation running 2.0. Hm. While he was working on this, John only had access to my NeXTstation, running 2.0. He didn't use any cubes at all, and my NeXTstation doesn't have any of the 1.0 stuff on it. I just copied the sources out of ~jgm/src on my Slab, and did a make from scratch on them. It worked perfectly. No problem whatsoever. If, indeed, the version you got off the archive site doesn't work under 2.0, the only explanation I can think of is that an outdated copy is installed there. The one on my machine is fine. Since John doesn't read this newsgroup because he's not a NeXT user these days, I'll forward your message off to him. -- Doug DeJulio ddj@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu

One hint, though: the code requires that your local site be listed in /etc/hosts. I know you're going to ask "why wouldn't it be", but I run a standalone home system and I thought /etc/hosts didn't matter to me. It took me quite a while to figure out that the reason the mouse didn't work was because it couldn't find the output of "hostname" in /etc/hosts. -- Geoff Kuenning geoff@ITcorp.com uunet!desint!geoff
