A couple of random A/UX hints --

[1] If you use both MacOS and A/UX, and if you prefer Multifinder, you
may have noticed that it was impossible to start 'sash' using MF.  To
get around this, do a "About..."  on the finder and find out how much
memory is left after 'System' and 'Finder' have started, but nothing
else.  Subtract about 20k from this figure, open up the "Get Info" box
on 'sash' and place this number in the memory usage box.  Now you can
start sash under MF (as long as nothing else is running).

[2] If your A/UX was distibuted with an early (before, say 18.46 Gnu
emacs), it will be hard to apply the Gnu patch files to 'src/sysdep.c'.
Instead, just get a copy of the latest (18.50) sysdep from a vax or sun
and apply the below patches.  They are small enough to do by hand if
necessary.  This will allow you to apply further patches easier than 
having to use the non-standard one supplied w/ A/UX.

Hope these help,
- mike
