It seems to do >something, but not very useful. The "shell-command" (^X!) in the latest version of ue3.7 seems buggy. If you try (say) ^X! then "make.prg" you get a bus error. (Using MONST which came over the recently I found the bombing code was caused by reading a NULL pointer) . Strangely though if you first try ^X! then just you get back to u-emacs and subsequent ^X! 's work properly !! That aside this version is *REALLY REALLY* good. (but I cant get the ^X# and ^X@ commands to work. are they supposed to?) I've put 3.6 on our VAX as an alternative to VI for our users (It dos'nt give the load overhead that GNU emacs does!) I'd like to put on 3.7 . Any chance of a sources posting of 3.7 ??? -- JANET: rh@uk.ac.paisley.cs EMAIL: rh@cs.paisley.ac.uk | Post: Paisley College UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!paisley!rh | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 41 887 1241 Ext. 219 | High St. Paisley. | Scotland. | PA1 2BE
