My computer kept on crashing for no good reason. I wonder whether anyone else has experienced the same type of problems. Interesting. I run Freemacs on a Z-386 all the time, no problem. Perhaps you have a TSR that interferes with it in some way? Could you send me an email message detailing your problems? Ditto for anyone else having problems with Freemacs... May be there are other flwas besides the 64k barrier that I'm not aware of. Does anyone know whne the next version of freemacs coming out? I haven't done anything with Freemacs for quite a while. The packet drivers (a set of mostly Ethernet drivers that can be used by [most] TCP/IP packages and Novell at the same time) have been sucking up most of my free software time. I have been struggling with learning C++ so that I can write Freemacs 2, which will have undo and large buffers. I can't give you any date on when it will be ready. -- --russ I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.
