I vastly re-wrote all the MSDOS spawning code to add the execute-program command which executes a program without the overhead of another copy of the command processor (I was using it in combination with some word processing software that ended up with 5 nested programs and 4 extra copies of command.com). I do not own the MSC compiler so I could not verify it under that. Patches to fix this have been coming in and I hope to post such in the not too distant future. However, if any MicroEMACS users out there want to make sure I can support MSC properly and want to purchase me one... I won't turn it down. BTW: MicroEMACS 3.9e and its docs are now available on j.cc.purdue.edu for anomynous ftp in the /usr/ftp/pub directory. [yea! thanks rsk] Progress report: I am coding MicroSCRIBE now. Looks like late spring early summer for the BETA release.
