Please recommend if you can a terminal emulator package for remote
Emacs execution.  I have a Turbo-XT class PC and a 9600-baud modem with
data compression (which can reach effective rates up to 17400-baud to
the terminal).  I connect to gnu-emacs.


  -- What's the best emulator for Emacs?

  -- Will I need a faster PC to run it?  (What processor/clock rate?)


I have tried in the past to run Emacs under Kermit's terminal emulation
mode on my XT-clone, with the following problems:

 1) Kermit, or my XT-clone, was too slow to keep up with the high-speed 
    modem.

 2) Kermit did not support mappings for all of the control- and meta-
    (and control-meta-) key strokes that Emacs uses.

I believe that Kermit actually maps the meta- (and control-meta-) key
strokes into 2-byte "escape/character" sequences.  I would like a
terminal emulator that will capture and send the meta bit when I press
the ALT key, which along with 8-bit/no-parity communication, will allow
Emacs to interpret the high-bit as a meta modifier.

Thanks for your help -- Bob

What version of Kermit did you try?  It is now at 3.12.  I have no
problem mapping the PC keys to anything I want.

I vaguely remember something about speeding things up in the latest

The base note describes a well-known bug in microemacs.  There's a well-known

Hi,


I am having trouble starting up DEMACS. I downloaded the new
djdev109.zip and replaced my old go32.exe with the one in
djdev109.zip, but could not get the new go32.exe to work.
Typing 
	go32.exe demacs
causes my system to hang. This happens in a DOS window inside desqview/x
1.02 as well as at the bare DOS prompt outside desqview/x
Could someone send me their working copy of  go32.exe (as .zip,
please). It would have to be the one that comes with djgpp1.09, since
djgpp1.08 doesn't work perfectly under desqview/x.
I have a 486/33 with 24Mb RAM and 800 Mb HD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Neville Nagrwalla

Try ^H b (a.k.a. describe-bindings).

Also try ^A a bindings (or 'apropos bindings') to find out how you
find describe-bindings.

(All assuming GNU Emacs, of course).

This is probabaly a FAQ, but I've been reading all the emacs groups for the
last few weeks and havent' seen a FAQ posted, and don't know where to get the
faq.

Is there a full Gnu Emacs for Msdos available?

Who is the maintainer?

Where can I get it?

Does it need a 386?

Very sorry to follow up my own post, but I should make a correction to it:
the version of etags.c that I used is from 18.57, not 18.58; I diffed it

Running in SPARC with SunOS 4.1.3

The Nutshell book, "GNU Emacs", describes a mouse based function,

When I attempt this I get the error that "x-popup-menu" is missing.  
The mouse help(x-help) key also gives the same error.

Have I done something wrong in the installation or is the function
"x-popup-menu" simply not implemented?

I use the following code to bind de function keys of my sun:

I found the keycodes to use by first pressing ^Q and next the key to bind.
Hope this also works for you!

Hi-

I'm running GNU Emacs 18.57 on an Ultrix system...  I'm trying to figure
out how to do something like (for example):

	C-x C-f input*.c

with the intent being to read in all files of the form input<anything>.c
-- akin to having typed "emacs input*.c" in the first place.  I've seen
people do this in vi (not that I like vi, _at all_, mind you -- I'm an
emacs devotee through and through :-)).  What happens when I try it from
emacs is that emacs assumes that I intended for the * character to be
part of the filename, then tells me that input*.c is a new file & sticks
me into an empty buffer named input*.c.  I realize that I could do C-x d
to get into dired, and (from there) visit the relevant files on a
file-by-file basis.  This seems a little cumbersome, though --
especially when I know that I'm going to want to edit them all, in turn,
anyway.

Does anybody have any idea how to do this?

Am I missing something really fundamental here?

Thanks!
John

I, too, am having keyboard problems with DEMACS.  Sometimes I get no
input from a keystroke, other times I get two characters.  I've tried
with and without [smartdrive|emm.sys|himem.sys|...and many others].
Has anyone got a suggestion?  So far, my only solution has been to buy
BRIEF and stop using demacs.

Apologies if this is also a FAQ, but does anyone have pointers to an EMACS
for Macintosh?  Or, has anyone tried porting DEMACS (the MSDOS version) to
a Mac?

Thanks,
EP

Does DEMACS work --- reliably?  I would appreciate email from anyone
who has experience, either way. I have been trying to use DEMACS, but
I have been unable to get it to work reliably.  It seems to be very
sensitive to other software, either refusing to run or running
"poorly" --- e.g. ignoring characters or doubling them.  Then, when it
appears to be running well, it often hangs at odd times, losing my
recent work.  Emacs is my favorite editor (by far) in the unix
environment, and I had hoped to use it extensively in DOS, but, so
far, I am still relying on BRIEF simply because I can't depend on
DEMACS.

I own and use an IBM 486/33. I was told there is an edition of Emacs that will
work on my machine. Can anyone advice me where to obtain a copy of this since
Emacs is my favorite text editor.
