I have MicroGnuEmacs 1a.  I love it to death, but I have noticed a few
bugs with it, including:

	* often the browser will crash the machine.  happens when
	nesting too many levels deep in directories.

	* after editing a while or scrolling text in a window
	(probably just scrolling text in window) clicking pointer to
	set cursor repeatedly places cursor in the wrong position
	(usually two or three character posiitons to the right or one
	to three lines above/below pointer position).  Redisplaying
	screen with C-L cures problem.

	* when directories are displayed by browser in menu bar,
	highlighting does not cover ending slash in directory name.

	* program does not know df1: does not exist on a one-drive
	system.  attempts to access df1: result in system requester
	asking user to place volume df1 in any drive.

	* the function just-one-space is default bound to M-SPC.  Big
	GNU binds this to M-\.

	* fill-paragraph doesn't work properly when the first line of
	the paragraph is indented with a tab.  Consider the following
	example:

	This is an indented paragraph.  The purpose of this paragraph
is to investigate a possible bug in MicroGnuEmacs.   I will move back
up, insert some text on the first line, then try to rejustify using
M-Q.

	Move to the end of the first line and type some nonsense
	word like "foobie."  Hit M-Q.  MG will keep "foobie" at the end
	of the first line and justify the remainder of the paragraph.
	If the first line is not indented with a tab, this problem
	does not occur.  In addition, mg puts point at the end of the
	paragraph after the justification occurs, AND adds a space.
	Big GNU does not move point.

I seem to remember Mike Meyer mentioning that some of these bugs have
been fixed in subsequent incarnations of MG (the browser crash bug, at
least).  Mike, is there any way you might be enticed to post diffs for
the bug fixes on the net?  I'm sure they wouldn't be too lengthy (as
in not greater than 1 post in length).  Does the version of mg that
popped up on mod.sources recently incorporate any of those fixes?  (I
got the executable from a friend that downloaded it from a BBS and
don't want to have to recompile the sources if I don't have to)
