If you can help me build a useful 18.52 under HP-UX 6.2, please > reply to the address below. GNU Emacs triggers a HP-UX 6.2 compiler bug that is fixed in HP-UX 6.2.1. From 6.2->6.2.1, the only thing that changes is the compiler. You can work around the bug by adding #define SHORT_CAST_BUG to the appropriate header file. (GNU Emacs was already #ifdef'ed for the problem!) Don Bennett (408)433-3311 dpb%frame@sun.com or, sun!frame!dpb Frame Technology
