Subject: Help compiling a special version of emacs 3.10s
Organization: Cleveland State University, Cleveland, Ohio
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 19:23:38 GMT

Emacs 3.10s will not compile on my Laser C compiler, and I am therefore
unable to tailor the program to my liking.  atari.archive.umich.edu has
a version with no color, with no reverse status line, and with
incremental searches enabled.

Would it be possible for somebody to compile and link this for me to
produce a normal, GEM desktop executable program with these options:

   Option             Setting   Define in "struct.h" (may not be correct)
   -----------------  -------   -----------------------------------------
   Color                 on     #define COLOR 1
   Reverse status line   on     #define REVERSE 1
   Incremental search    off    #define ISEARCH 0

If you are kind enough to help me out with this, please send me a short
reply using private email telling me that you could do it, and I will
give you the go ahead.  In this manner, I won't get ten copies and have
nine people waste their time.

Thank you very much,  Max

[...stuff about problem deleted...]

When I started using the PS output, I too had trouble. I used the "to disk"
option and it was a disaster! I now use PSCAPTURE --- an accessory you
can get from a.a and all is well. Postscript interpreters expect to see
%! on the first line of the file so this acc puts:

%!PS-Adobe-1.0
%%Title: GEM Document
%%Creator: Atari ST GDOS
%%CreationDate: 08:24:54 04-03-1992
%%EndComments

at the start of the file and:

%%Trailer
%%EOF

at the end. All you need to do is set up the acc and pretend its a
printer it will then spool to the file you named in the set-up.

Good Luck.

Could someone please answer these questions:

1.What is the DMA (?) bandwidth between DSP external RAM and main memory,

2.Does the 68030 have to halt while this occurs ?

3.Can the 16-bit 8 channel sound have independent frequency and volume
control (like the Amiga) for EACH channel.

	Actually, Windows 3.1 does work with a 286, but only in Standard mode
(they got rid of real mode btw).  I have an AT right here that I was trying
to install Norton Desktop for Windows on.  BTW, NDW does NOT work on Win3.1
on a 286  :/.  It crashes and leaves you on a desktop with NO tasks running -
you can't quit from Windows because there is no program manager to quit
from - but the task lister still works.  :)

So, for  those of you  who  know,  could you  answer as many questions
below as possible and I'll post a summary of the results  to this news
group in a day or so.

Thanks,

==============

1 . Do games like Falcon, Flight Simulator, Sim City, etc. run well
    on the TT?  Too fast?

2.  Does Calamus and other word processing packages work?

3.  Has Minix been ported over yet?

4.  Is there a Unix like OS  for the TT?  If so, has anyone gotton X11
    R4 or X11 R5 to compile on a TT?

5.  Are there any UNIXless X servers available for the TT?

6.  If you own a TT, what are your impressions of the machine?

7.  Which version of the Atari OS do the TTs run?  2.?? 3.??

Geeez, Ed.  Compared to what?  Your TT?  Your 486-66DX2?  Your SGI?  Your Cray?

Sure, a 16MHz 68030 is far from the top of the heap in the speed race.  But it
will be considerably faster than the 8MHz ST/STe or the 16MHz MSTe and will be
cheaper than a TT with lots of extra goodies thrown in to boot.  I am more
than a little uneasy about Atari's marketing plan (plan?) for this beastie,
but make no mistake, it will be a nice little machine for the money.... when
and _if_ you can buy one!

The Dungeon Master editor is commercial software, not PD
or Shareware. There's a demo of it on atari.archive under

atari/games/dmeditor.arc

which I presume will contain information on where the 
original is available. The program isn't particularly
versatile, though- you can move walls and that's about it.
There's a DM dungeon which was created with it in the new
directory of a.a- atari/new/dmdung2.arc but don't expect
too much- it's pretty similar to the original.

These rates (and others) are allowed if you use an external clock generator.

   Does Windows 3.1 even work on a 286?  Something tells me it needs
a 386 or higher (check the documentation).  At least I think it only
works in enhanced mode anyways.  I have a feeling 3.1 doesn't like

No. PBM is ``Portable Bit Map'' and the package does just that, converts
bit maps. These are the related files from MAN.

     brushtopbm(1), cmuwmtopbm(1), g3topbm(1), gemtopbm(1), icon-
     topbm(1),     macptopbm(1),     mgrtopbm(1),    pi3topbm(1),
     xbmtopbm(1),   ybmtopbm(1),   pbmto10x(1),    pbmtoascii(1),
     pbmtobbnbg(1),   pbmtocmuwm(1),  pbmtoepson(1),  pbmtog3(1),
     pbmtogem(1),    pbmtogo(1),    pbmtoicon(1),     pbmtolj(1),
     pbmtomacp(1),    pbmtomgr(1),   pbmtopi3(1),   pbmtoplot(1),
     pbmtoptx(1), pbmtox10bm(1), pbmtoxbm(1), pbmtoybm(1), pbmto-
     zinc(1),  pbmlife(1),  pbmmake(1),  pbmmask(1), pbmpaste(1),
     pbmreduce(1), pbmtext(1), pbmupc(1), pnm(5), pgm(5), ppm(5)

ghostscript should do what you want. It is capable of converting to a
variety of formats (I don't know them all) but ppm is one of them which
gives you:

     giftoppm(1),   gouldtoppm(1),   ilbmtoppm(1),   imgtoppm(1),
     mtvtoppm(1),  pcxtoppm(1),  pgmtoppm(1),  pi1toppm(1), pict-
     toppm(1),    qrttoppm(1),     rawtoppm(1),     rgb3toppm(1),
     spctoppm(1),    sputoppm(1),    tgatoppm(1),    ximtoppm(1),
     xpmtoppm(1),   ppmtogif(1),    ppmtoicr(1),    ppmtoilbm(1),
     ppmtopcx(1),    ppmtopgm(1),    ppmtopi1(1),   ppmtopict(1),
     ppmtops(1),   ppmtopuzz(1),    ppmtorgb3(1),    ppmtouil(1),
     ppmtoxpm(1), ppmhist(1), ppmmake(1), ppmpat(1), ppmquant(1),
     ppmquantall(1), ppmrelief(1), pnm(5), pgm(5), pbm(5)

Now the only question is what is available for the ST?
