  At the beginning of the summer, I posted a message describing how to
port MicroEmacs to the Microsoft C compiler.  The latest release of
MicroEmacs, version 3.7, incorporates some of those changes.  I don't
have access to my machine so I can't be sure exactly what will happen
when 3.7 is compiled under MSC, but there are a few definite problems.
For example, the spawncli() routine compiles into {} with the MSC and
MSDOS symbols set.  Another problem - in termio.c, there is a line that 
reads:

#if     MSDOS & (LATTICE | MSDOS)

  This isn't particularly useful.  I assume that it is supposed to read
(LATTICE | MSC).  

  When I get back to school in September, I will look into the code in more 
detail and report on the results if anyone is interested.  My guess is that 
setting the defines will get almost everything to work.  The spawn routines 
seem to need a few minutes work; perhaps someone else has MSC and is willing 
to post the necessary changes.  

  If anyone has any questions on getting MicroEmacs to run under MSC, feel 
free to ask me about them.  I might, however, not be able to answer until I 
am back at school.
