Summary: Work fine together, but remove newbindings.asm

I received my Manx 3.40a update last week.  The free update for owners
of the $300 list developers' package only includes new compiler,
assembler, includes and libraries, it turns out.  To get the new
debugger and the utilities costs an extra $50.  But it's worth it,
especially for vi'ers, since the $50 update includes Z, the Aztec vi
semi-work-alike (it's very close to vi, but doesn't have full-up ex
underneath, though several :-prefixed commands are available).  So
far, I've compiled VT100 Version 2.6, Steve Drew's latest Shell (the
Manx version he adapted from Matt Dillon's), and MicroGnuEmacs.  mg
and vt100 work fine; the Shell requires some changes, basically taking
out assignments to stdout's file handle, buffer, and buffer size
(stdout is now buffered by default).  It doesn't do redirection due to
changes in Manx's fexec() code.

OK, OK, the main point is:  VT100 Version 2.6 compiles just fine with
Manx 3.40, provided you remove newbindings.asm and run it under 1.2.
No +L, no +C, just say "make".

I don't know about posting a 36K+ executable in uuencoded form,
especially from a machine I'm just a guest on.  I will get ahold of
Craig Norberg, the mod.amiga.sources moderator, and see if he'll
accept a binary and make it available for FTP from j.cc.purdue.edu.
