I found that with several of the TOP programs I needed to recompile to get proper output - not sure where the discrepancy was, perhaps some difference in a library call used. Regarding emacs, V3.11 Beta is now available for FTP (see comp.emacs) - while OS-9 hasn't been incorporated as a standard platform, I have it on good authority that it can be recompiled for OS-9 rather easily by modifying the input.c and unix.c files. -- ############################################################################## # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation --- OS-9: Seven generations beyond OS/2!! # ######Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them!######
