There are patches available to make GNU Emacs work with DECWindows. Just send
a message to fileserv@ttt.kth.se with the line:

	SEND EMACS-1857-PATCHES

if you have version 18.57, or:

	SEND EMACS-1858-PATCHES

if you have version 18.58.

These patches mainly fix the following:

	- Dired works (like wonders!)
	- You can use Emacs with DECWindows the way it *should* work.

No, I haven't forgotten it!
I get the message *after* I called server-start in my emacs (which runs on
the same machine).
Another guy has mailed to me, he had the same problems, so again:
Could please someone help? Is there someone who has no problems running
emacsclient under SunOS 4.1?

Hi-

I'm trying to do a *single* regexp search (for use with the 'occur' function)
that will find all lines that contain:

      + either an 'if' or an 'else'
      + possibly several whitespace characters and maybe even a
        parenthetical expression thereafter

	BUT which

      + do *not* have a curly brace { after the 'if' or 'else,' on the
        same line.

Examples:

The following lines should, ideally, match:

	if (status == OK)
	if     (status == OK)		/* some junk */
	else
	else if (status == !OK)

but the following lines should *not* match:

	if (status == OK) { 		/* whitespace & comment follow */
	if (DEBUG)	{
	else {
	else if (target == SUN4) {	/* stuff */

I can get the 'if' and the 'else' with the optional whitespace & parenthetical
expression to match, but I don't know how to tell Emacs to skip the lines that
have a curly brace in them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

   will appear with all addresses that match the name.  You can move
   through the menu buffer and select one, which then replaces what was

   This package presupposes the existence of a data file that has, on

I fail to see why one would need a new package for this.  Isn't the
data file you mention merely doing the job which is already done by
the .mailrc file ?  And doesn't for instance the mail-abbrevs package
(by Jamie Zawinsky) do what you are offering (perhaps without the
option of choosing between the matched address on a separate buffer).

Please do not get me wrong.  I do not mean to be disrespectful of your
work, merely suggesting that it would be more interesting if you would
make it compatible with already existing and widely used packages

Just my 2c.

rcs-cks.el was the package that suited my needs best when I used RCS a
year ago. It is available from ftp.lysator.liu.se in
pub/emacs/rcs-cks.el. It was originally written by Chris Siebenmann
<cks@white.toronto.edu> and I upgraded for RCS 5.5 and made some
enhancements. (Chris might have a newer version - I don't know. I 
told him about my upgrades a year ago and he said that he might ftp
them in the future).

Since then I have switched from RCS to CVS, and I think you should
consider doing the same. I have written a "cvs.el" that is distributed
with CVS 1.3. There is also a newer version of the emacs front-end
with some portability problems solved and some bugs fixed available
from ftp.lysator.liu.se in pub/emacs/pcl-cvs-1.03.tar.Z

Hello all:

I've been considering developing a elisp package similar to dired for
Public Domain/Shareware archivers. That is a package that would allow
the user to get listings of files in zip/zoo/lzh files and then update,
delete, add, view, edit, etc. the files inside an archive.

My question is, has anyone already created such a package? I certainly
would prefer not to duplicate someone elses efforts or if they had
only got some preliminary work done, whether they might need some
help or have me add enhancements.

It seems to me that this could be a very usefull package.

Subject: Micro-Emacs 3.11c patch program available
Organization: a consultant's basement
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 1992 00:42:34 GMT
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

Several months ago, I reported on the availablility of Micro-Emacs 3.11
and the "C" patch.  

Basically, I had found that patches are cummulative, so only the
original 3.11 distribution and the 3.11C patch files where needed to
generate a 3.11c ( A & B patches being included in patch C).

I also concluded that the standard diff files that make up the patches
where somehow flawed, so 'patch' frequently places the patches in the
wrong places during installation.

Well, there now exists at the Programmer's Room, (317)742-5533, a
program called FIXEMACS.ZIP in the uEmacs file section which properly
installs the 311c patches.  The program was written by M.L. Moser in
June, 1992.  It is written for Turbo C, but gcc compiles it quite
nicely. Quite bizarre that someone had to write a 393 line program to
install a set of patch files, but so it goes.  Many thanks to him.

Whether the purdue ftp site has it, I don't know.  If anyone wants the
fixemacs.c and fixemacs.doc from me, it is 8K compressed, uuencoded and
I will mail it to as many people as I can.  If too many people request
it, I may have to post this bad boy.

BTW, 3.11C does not fix the unix.c TERM struct vs. estruct.h TERM struct
initialization misalignment problem.  You still have to fix that by
hand.

I just accidentally put an environment variable in a load-file argument like
(load-file "${ENV}/foo.el")
Then I looked back later and thought, "Why is that working?"
Seems that emacs passes the pathname to a shell or something for evaluation.
Interesting.
