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.
