Otherwise I could simply rely on the emacs getenv stuff, since it seems to work. [...] Try linking with /lib/libsys_p.a. It worked for bash... This is one of several things that needed to be done. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you on this, but I needed to get my NeXT upgraded to 2.0. It turns out there are a lot of little things to fix. Fortunately, I have the source for emacs 18.55 for the next under 2.0 (courtesy of Franz, Inc.'s new lisp distribution for the NeXT), so I could get the relevent fixes. I will make up a tar file and put it on cs.uiuc.edu. Hopefully tomorrow (Wednesday). -- Simon -- Simon Kaplan kaplan@cs.uiuc.edu Department of Computer Science uiucdcs!kaplan@uunet.uu.net University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1304 W.
