Moody) Organization: St. Joseph's University, Phila. PA. Lines: 33 First, thanks to Daniel Lawrence and Brandon for getting micro-emacs3.9 out to its admiring public. Thanks also to the various (numerous) people who have given helpful answers to the various questions that I have posted. Now, more questions... (1) I have compiled uEmacs3.9 using Microsoft C 4.0, with the /AL switch, for the large memory model. This done, the linker choked on DISPLAY.OBJ, complaining about an "invalid object module". So, for the hell of it, I recompiled *just* DISPLAY.C using the /AH setting for the huge memory model. Oddly, this worked (remember, I don't know what I'm doing); the object files linked up and I got an .EXE file. And it loads and runs just fine. Except... if I attempt to use the "emacs.rc" file, and its associated .cmd files, I get a "stack overflow 2000" message, and no loading. Does this mean that I should recompile everything with the huge memory model? (2) When I run uEmacs3.9 (w/o the .rc file, of course) under MS-DOS (I am using a Zenith zfl-181, with 640K RAM), the shell commands (^X! and ^X@) don't work. The one that I am most interested in at this point is ^X!. When I try it, I simply get the [end] signal at the bottom of the screen. I note that the shell commands work fine under BSD 4.3. Does anyone else have this problem, and is it likely to be related to question (1)? Thanks in advance. -- Todd Moody * {allegra|astrovax|bpa|burdvax}!sjuvax!tmoody * SJU Phil. Dept.
