Just recently, I found out about the emacsbin098.lzh on ab20. Having suffered the agony of learning this program, I it would be nice to use a more up to date version on the amiga than 3.6. Ver 3.10 is unsat because it only opens a 24 or so line window on the workbench. Anyway, I tried to unlharc the above archive and it produces a file called temacs. When you type temacs at the cli, the program complains about a missing lisp library. This library does not come with the archive, so does anyone know where you can get it? Thanks, Ralph rtsoule@athena.mit.edu

Get it from the system where you learned gnuemacs. It is Lisp code, which is the same on any system. You need to provide a correct path in your .emacs file that points to your lisp library directory, like so: ;; .emacs Init File (setq load-path '("/mnt/swarren/bin/emacs" "/usr/local/gnumacs.18.57/lisp" "/usr/local/gnumacs/lisp")) [...etc...] The first path is to my private emacs lisp directory. The second path is to an alternative lisp directory for when we were testing a new version. The third path is our standard lisp directory for emacs on our system. I think that the lisp library functions for new versions should still run on older versions of emacs. (I think) _. --Steve ._||__ DISCLAIMER: All opinions are my own.
