Hello, This is a plea for some help with unix Amiga style. What I need is an editor that is much better than vi. I have downloaded the source to the MicroEMACS editor rom some of the fishdisks. (#22 #23 #219??) Anyway upon trying to compile these programs. There are errors that I get. If anyone of you people out there that are both Unix and Amiga gurus have an editor that you like or know how to get the above mentioned to compile then I would really apprciate some help. I saw a message a while ago that I remember someone saying that there was also a Unix version of Dme? Is this true? Thanks to all who respond, Joshua SLMT9@cc.usu.edu

If you are trying to compile those MicroEmacs sources under UNIX, then you will have a problem. They were ported to AmigaDos. Try compiling them for UNIX Sys V.

Number 1 is to fiddle with the #include files so that the #defines contained therein fit the machine you want to compile for. Number 2 is to fix any problems that occur after attempting to compile that. I followed this procedure getting 3.10i over to my PS/2 at work - someone else had already done the grunt work, and it was just a matter of changing some #defines and changing something to do with addressing the display (the #defines didn't have the correct direct RAM address (haw, haw, reminds one of the Mac or 64 :) for the machine I was trying to run on, but I pulled that from some other software source I had). Funnily enough, I still use 3.9e at home on the Amiga, because the 3.10i version didn't seem to work properly. -- *** John Bickers, TAP, NZAmigaUG. jbickers@templar.actrix.gen.nz *** *** "Patterns multiplying, re-direct our view" - Devo. ***
