Ken, here's what I found in etc/DISTRIB. I used to sometimes use emacs, especially to clean junk out of a directory with dired. But we've moved to SPARCs, and a build of emacs 18.55, though it completes without error, produces a binary which does nothing but print the message "error 6, core dumped". (Plus create the proverbial 8MEG dump file, of course.) If I had time to debug it, I would, but I don't, so I continue to use vi. (In general, I like vi better anyway, but I do like dired, and some of the users occasionally bug me about when emacs will be available again.) -- Mike Van Pelt "Hey, hey, ho ho, Headland Technology/Video 7 Western culture's got to go." ...ames!vsi1!v7fs1!mvp Stanford students and faculty.
