Well, I pulled MicroEMACS 3.9e off of comp.sources.misc and gave them a
try under Microport Sys V/286 2.2.  After changing the makefile to do a
-lcurses in the link rather than a -ltermcap, the linker bombed on
an object too big, requiring a recompile with "-Ml" in the CFLAGS
in the makefile.  One of the modules causes the optimizer to bomb.
I invoked the compiler by hand without the -O option and it compiled
fine.  Everything then linked OK.

Anyway, emacs works just fine, but it totally eats CPU time (pretty
much all that's available), even when it's just sitting there waiting for 
keys.  Anybody know what's happening?   I selected USG and Unix compiler,
terminal output as termcap; the rest are defaults.  I thought I'd ask 
around before trying to dig through it myself. -karl
