Recently a user brought in GNU Emacs to be installed on our
VAX 11/780 under VMS 4.4
 
After successful installation and testing we found that the Version17
had a minor bug vis-a-vis: While exiting and saving through C-x C-c
it leave a line-feed or a Carriage-Return. Which was later modified
by changing "rfm=var" to "rfm=stmls" in FILEIO.C and recompiling
After that We could not save files using C-x C-c. It creates a file
of the same name but of 0 records length.
 
It gives errors also such as file is write-protected !!!!
 
Do any one out there have any ideas ? suggestion ?
 
AM Very scared to put the VERSION 18 up, before this is resolved.
