Robert's patches work very well (Thanks Robert ;^)) You also may need to jack up your MAXUMEM kernel tunable in order to run emacs and other big stuff. It is set rather low by default. Robert has patches for gcc as well. Both his emacs and gcc patches are specifically for NCR Sys5r3 (OS 1.xx/3.xx). I can send you the patches if you'd like, send me email requesting them or get them directly from Robert. -- Arthur W.
