Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) In article <458@rc6.urc.tue.nl> rcpt@urc.tue.nl writes: | | In an attempt to install MicroEMACS 3.10 (the MS-DOS distribution in | several .arc files) on UNIX I ran into several problems. So I am asking | myself the question: `Is MicroEMACS3.10 used on UNIX at all?' And `Am I | using the correct distribution?'. The most severe problem I encountered | is the fact that it does not run nicely in a xterm window. In such a | window the status line is not displayed correctly and the arrow keys | do not work properly. | Yes, we use micro-emacs3.10e under Unix (SunOS 4.0.3/4.1, Gould NP1). It runs fine with sunview-shelltool and also with xterm (not so many tries because i use sunview). Your trouble with keys could come from .Xdefaults. Try to see which code (if any!) is sent by cursor keys. As for me, i tell xterm to keep original sun function key codes (esc [ 222 z). Look at xterm man page. memacs uses termcap keys definition for cursor. You can download our current version from anonymous ftp site irisa.irisa.fr. It is the original version along with numerous upgrades and corrected bugs (not all from me). Unfortunately, it seems i have introduced other minor bugs. I have put my .emacsrc and assorted files to make memacs recognise the full Ri keypad of Sun keyboard. There is also a LaTeX command file, very useful for typing accented letters. All in all, i am satisfied with it, but it still needs improvement, due to either bugs or missing features, mainly under Unix. [...] | The documentation of 3.10 is in MicroScribe which seems the | (micro?)parent of LaTeX. Because we don't have MicroScribe and don't | want yet another typesetter, I tried to convert the documentation to | LaTeX by using the `s2latex' converter from our TeX-distribution. It | would still cost me a lot of time to get a nice typeset manual, even | with this converter. Is there anybody who has done this job already | (troff would be an acceptable alternative--I have the 3.9e documentation | in troff)? | A collegue having a scribe system gave me the PostScript output. It is in pub/m-emacs310e/emacs.ps.Z on irisa.irisa.fr. | Hope to hear from you! | that's done! | --Piet | | uucp: rcpt@urc.tue.nl | Piet Tutelaers Room RC 1.90 | bitnet: rcpt@heithe5.BITNET | Eindhoven University of Technology | phone: +31 (0)40 474541 | P.O.

PS: i will be glad to receive any upgrade and bugs correction Unix users of micro-emacs could have made on the original sources, even if it is on 3.9e or 3.10 version.
