You might take a look at Lucid Emacs. If you have the power, it has
everything and all.

The DOS version of GNU Emacs does this properly:  there's a flag pass-8
which (as the name suggests) passes all 8-bits.  I also have some minor
hacks to the C-code of the stock GNU Emacs distribution to create a new
binary that always passes all 8-bits.  E-mail me if you want the patches.
Be forwarned, though:  you'll have to recompile Emacs.

[rest of message deleted]

You are well advised to read the documentation provided with Demacs.  It
mentions how Demacs is a much changed version of Emacs and that only
the Lisp files that it was neccassary to change for DOS were included.  
Your comments on locations varying is also valid since DOS files tend
to have a different length than their UNIX cousins due to the Line Feed
an Carriage return vs. CR.

Anyway, the best way for you to get Emacs working under Unix is to
obtain a copy of the original Unix Gnu Emacs distribution (The address
is in the Emacs FAQ), and install that.  The Demacs distribution is
by its very nature incompatible.

Putting "." at the beginning of a path can be dangerous.  Someone could

   DJ Delorie says that the problem is that Windows only uses DPMI level
   0.9, which isn't powerful to support GO32. He says in the readme file
   to DJGPP (his free port of GNU CC/C++ to non-DPMI dos) that he's
   waiting for DPMI 1.0

Why not use Win32s when it becomes available. Win32s is 32-bit windows 3.1
dlls which should be available at the end of the month I think.

Also available at the end of the month is POSIX for NT. This should really
make live easy if you can port GNU emacs to a single process/thread using
the win32s api. (Assuming you can program for POSIX and then run in 3.1
using the 32-bit 3.1 dlls.) 

At any rate, 32-bit capacity is right around the corner. I'm really anxious
to get the real emacs under windows 3.1.

Subject: RMAIL and Eudora/POPMail enclose
Organization: University of Trondheim
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 92 19:54:40 GMT

Hi!

Most of the email-users at my institution are using POPMail for PC's
or Eudora for Mac.  These mail programs have the added facility that
they can do a BINHEX on any file and enclose them in the 7-bit mail. 
If the receiver is using a similar program, the file will
automatically be unpacked and written to disk. Hence even large
programs can be sent as e-mail. This is of course very practical (if
you are using a program that can handle it). But as a RMAIL user
(under Emacs) it is usually a little inconvenient to read the HEX
files... ;)
 
So --- rather than doing it myself and hence perhaps reinventing the
wheel --- I ask whether somebody has made a program for RMAIL that
can extract those BINHEX'ed files and preferably write them to a
file???
 
Best regards and thanks for any help!
 
---Jacob

I think you misread the question.  They are already talking about Demacs
(which I assume is the editor you're also talking about).  Demacs will
not function correctly under Windows, and they are discussing that
fact.

I suspect one will have to wait until Windows-NT is released before
there will be an emacs port. The main problem, I believe, in doing
such a port is the tagged pointer scheme that is used in emacs to
implement the elisp primitives. This cannot be adapted to a 16:16
segmented memory model without very far-reaching alterations. Since
Windows NT uses a 32 bit flat memory model, there should be less of a
problem, depending on what provisions MS have made for full screen
text mode console i/o. If they insist that one go through the Windows
graphics interface to do serious user interaction, then one will have
to convert emacs to that. As far as I can see, one should wait for
emacs version 19 before doing this, since that will do its user
interface in a way more compatible with a event queue driven
interface.

Of course, one could also try switching to OS/2 version 2.0. An emacs
port (which works just fine, in my experience) has been available
since the general release in April. This is not a PM app, but it will
run in a PM window, so one can do cut and paste to the clipboard if
need be. [There is also a port of gcc 2.2.2 available as well.]

Suppose it does.  I believe Xedit (The one with X distribution, and

I also use a z-29 at home. I set the terminal itself to ANSI mode, and in

That is, when I login from home (with a modem <= 2400 baud), the terminal

Interestingly, I have, in my hands, a supposed FULL port of GNU emacs to
DOS. SOmebody gave it to me (on 2 hi-density 3.5" floppies), saying it
is just like the GNU emacs under UNIX. The only thing missing are most of the
lisp files, but that is OK, because it is supposed to be able to use the
lisp files from the GNU distribution.

Is there a way to reorder mail messages inside of
an 'rmail' (BABYL format) file.

I was thinking of having an ordered 'todo' file and
could not think of an easy way to move something to
the top or bottom of the list.

Thanks,
mitch

Will the ported EMACS for DOS (DEMACS) work when used in OS/2 2.0?
DOS is still very much a pig, but I'm too spoiled to give up EMACS
and would change over to OS/2 2.0 in a minute if DEMACS would work
with the new operating system.  Anyone who knows, please <email>.
