You should be able to put together something with

Comments: Hyperbole mail buttons accepted, v3.06.

Hi!  I'm working on installing VM on a personal level (not system
wide), and am having troubles getting VM and Hyperbole to work
together.  By itself, VM works just fine.  In conjunction with
Hyperbole, when VM first starts and you press SPC to show the entire
message, or pick the message from the summary, it responds with
"Invalid function: (macro lambda nil (byte-code <some codes>...".
However, if I then, while in VM M-x load-library vm, it works fine,
although hyperbole doesn't seem to be hooked in properly. I was
wondering if anyone out there has any tips.  I've tried autoloading
vm, requiring it, and simply loading it completely all before starting
hyperbole (as hyperbole states it should be loaded after such things).
I could certainly turn off hyperbole for vm, but if it's a simple (or
semi-simple) trick to get it to work completely, then that's better.
BTW, I've got hyperbole 3.06, and VM 5.32 (beta).  Should I simply
look for a slightly older version of VM?  (I tried 4.41--too old)
Thanks!!

is there any way to set these variables automatically? like if you are 
editing two c programs with different indentations, it would be very
convenient to not fight with these variables every single time....

Well, of course somebody had already written something like this. Can you say  
kitchen sink? :-)  The package of choice is called ange-ftp by Andy Norman of  
HP. I picked it up and found it to be a fantastic package. It uses the FTP  
protocol to do the transfer and even supports file name completion in the  
mini-buffer. All in all, a wonderful package.

Subject: Need help installing 18.58 on a Pyramid running SMP DC/OSx
Date: 23 Nov 92 16:50:33 GMT
Organization: Starfleet Headquarters: San Francisco

I'm trying to get Emacs 18.58 up and running on a Pyramid here.
I've never installed Emacs before, and I'm not root, so I'm having
a few difficulties...

The /etc/motd of this machine identifies it as "SMP DC/OSx wrpyr4
1.0-92b023 dcosx MIServer-S 6/256 r3000".  It's some kind of Unix, but
I'm not terribly familiar with it.

All I did was copy src/config-h.dist to src/config.h and edit it to
#include "m-pyramid.h" and "s-bsd4-2.h" like the MACHINES file told me
to, and put the proper path in src/paths.h.

Then I typed 'make install', and after it compiled everything in etc,
I got:

	...
        cd src; make  all
        rm -f xmakefile junk.c
        cp ymakefile junk.c
        cc -E junk.c | sed -e 's/^#.*//' -e 's/^[
                                                        ][
                                                                ]*$//' -e 's/^ /
        /' | \
        sed -n -e '/^..*$/p' > xmakefile
        rm -f junk.c
        make    -f xmakefile  all
bad character { (octal 173), line 30 (bu40)
make: fatal error: .
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

make: fatal error.
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

make: fatal error.


I don't understand this.  Line 30 of xmakefile is:
temacs:  $ ( LOCALCPP ) $ ( SHORT ) $ ( STARTFILES ) $ ( OLDXMENU ) $ { obj } $
{ otherobj }

Could it be choking on a '{'?

This may be too specific a case for me to find much help here, but I'd
appreciate any assistance that could be offered.  I'd like to work on
this with someone who is familiar with the same setup.

Thanks!

Hi all,

    Many times a day I need to stamp a file I create
using my name (a string), the current date and time
(preferrably full month name like November), and
other things. I just wondered if I can have a
command that does this all at once. If I had such a command
I would bind it to a function key. Then whenever I
needed to have my mark on a file, I would press the key once.

    M-1 M-! date is a good start, but not enough.
I could write a C program (say, stamp) and use
M-1 M-! stamp. But the slight problem is that
this creates another shell, kind of slow for
this little thing.

    I would loved to write a Lisp thing myself,
but I do not know how yet.

    Thanks in advance for any pointers and help.
The stamp I am thinking about would look like:

    I tried to read the ELisp manual. How do I get Emacs to
give me some results? For example, after I type:

(car '(1 2))

I'd like to see 1 (according to the manual) somewhere.

Hello,

I am trying to write a piece of code in GNU Emacs Lisp.

Does anybody know how I might select some text from the current buffer and copy it
into a second buffer?  Also, if the copied text is altered, how to replace the copied
text into the original buffer. 

A secondary problem is how to process a buffer and create a data structure(whatever
the data structure might be) of the words in a sentence.

This, if you are interested, is for a grammar checking integrated into GNU Emacs.

Date: 23 Nov 92 11:40:45 GMT
Organization: GMD-FIRST, D-1000 Berlin 10

Hello,
I'm currently using epoch & emacs on a Sparc station.

Since a couple of weeks I'm able to work from home via modem 
connection.

Now I wonder if it is possible to build up a similiar environment 
like epoch on my home PC. 
For those who are interested, I consider using Turbo-Vision as a 
convenient window interface.

The main problem  that shows up in this respect : Is it possible in
emacs to switch between different buffers without actually 
redisplaying them.
You see, I may have buffers of some tens of kbyte, which should only 
be transmitted only once. (otherwise it is too slow).

So, what do I want ? 

If I switch to another buffer (C-k b), the emacs should
only send an acknowledge string, whatsoever it may be, and then 
continue.

This is quite fundamental, if there is no solution, the whole thing 
has to be abandone.

Any ideas are welcome.

I follow the instruction in file INSTALL to install the GNU Emacs in my

	Let $EMACS stand for the main directory of Emacs code to reside.
This directory have subdirectoried named src, lisp, etc, etc. Let $BUILD
stand for the directory which have all the GNU Emacs files I got from FTP.
The $BUILD directory is the one where I ran 'make install'. Note that
$EMACS and $BUILD directories are two different directories. After I do
'make install', I wonder if I can delete any files in $BUILD to free up
some space for other use?

SunOS 4.1.x is Solaris 1.y, so you shouldn't use s-sol2.h.  Solaris 1.x and
Solaris 2.0 are very different, so it doesn't work to interchange them.

Neither of those features are in GNU Emacs 18.x.  You're thinking of Emacs
19.x, which hasn't been released yet (although there's an early release
that Lucid has put together, commonly being called Lucid Emacs 19.1).

Ange-FTP allows transparent file access to remote files via ftp.
ange-ftp is available from
 "/alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu:/ange-ftp/"


Ange-ftp works best when used with tree-dired.  Tree-dired is
the dired of emacs-19.  Some the following advantages over
dired are:

     * can dired several directories in one buffer
     * marking of a whole set of files for later commands
     * integrated with ange-ftp - you can run Dired on remote FTP
       directories

Tree Dired is available via anonymous ftp from
        ftp.thp.Uni-Koeln.DE[134.95.64.1]:/pub/gnu/emacs/diredall.tar.Z

These are two of the most useful elisp packages in existence.
I recommend them both highly.
