You should get a copy of GNU Emacs v18.55, which has support for the DECstations in it. More to the point, DEC should ship GNU Emacs v18.55 on their unsupported software tape, rather than earlier versions. Not fixed in Ultrix 4.0, i.e. the subset UDXEDIT400 on the tape AQ-MM12B-BE 00MUB8495A, "Ultrix/UWS V4.0 (RISC) UNSUPPORTED SUBSETS" Copyright 1990 Digital Equipment Corporation) is ./usr/new/gnuemacs.18.51.tar.Z. Unsupported should not mean not working. --Ed Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan math dept comp.archives moderator
