I can't get shell-mode to work in emacs (18.56) on my rs6000 apparently because there is no terminfo entry for "emacs". I looked around on some other machines and can find neither an "emacs" terminfo nor termcap entry. Has anyone out there solved this problem yet? If so, can you enlighten me?

You are correct that there is no terminfo nor termcap entry for "emacs" but that should not matter. What specific problems are you having? I know that terminal-emulator mode does not work for reasons I have yet to discover, but I assume you do mean the more vanilla shell-mode. AIX TIP: You can find out the version number of your system by running the command 'lslpp -h bos.obj'. lslpp lists the Licensed Program Products on your system. -h means include the history and bos.obj is the Base Operating System objects. Anyway, the last line of the output should be something like: ACTIVE COMMIT MM/DD/YY 03.01.XXXX.YYYY userid The MM/DD/YY is the date the BOS update was applied and XXXX is the update level of the AIX 3.1 product. +--Marc Pawliger----IBM Advanced Workstations Division----Palo Alto, CA---+ | Internet: marc@ibminet.awdpa.ibm.com VNET: MARCP at AUSVM6 | | UUCP: uunet!ibminet.awdpa.ibm.com!marc Phone: (415) 855-3493 | +-----IBMinet: marc@ibmpa.awdpa.ibm.com----------IBM T/L: 465-3493------+ As always, these are my opinions, not IBM's etc etc etc

Presumably this means 03.01.0001.0003 is what's colloquially known as 3001? We believe we need 3003 to run our 730 successfully, would this show as 03.01.0003.yyyy?

The third set of numbers "0001" is what tells you it is "x001", the "3xxx" tells you it is a cumulative update. "2xxx" is relative to the preceeding "2xxx - 1" level. >We believe we need 3003 to run our 730 successfully, would this show as >03.01.0003.yyyy? What is the yyyy part? The number of iterations of the build process required to produce the given update. It has little use outside of IBM and serves primarily to differentiate one level of code from the next during the development process. Some people would argue that it serves primarily to confuse customers ... -- John F.
