The letter below was sent to Daniel Lawrence, creator of MicroEmacs.  After
about 3 weeks, I've not heard back, so I ask the Usenet community to help
me with my problem.

	I discovered that someone at my site had a tar copy of me3.9, so
	I brought it down to my Amiga 1000 and started to work on compiling
	it.  The only makefiles were .mwc and .unx, so I made one of my own
	for Aztec 3.6a.  It was compiled with 'cc -Z3000 -o *.o *.c' (the
	standard .c.o: macro), and linked with 'ln *.o -lc' with no problems.
	-Z3000 was used because main.c complained about lack of string space.
	The ansi executable was created (because ANSI was #defined, along
	with AZTEC and AMIGA in estruct.h), but when run, only produced the
	ME3.9/Amiga screen and then hung.  I had all of the related files
	in the current dir (*.cmd, amiga.rc, emacs.hlp, emacs.mss, etc), 
	but nothing much happened before reboot time.  Do you have any ideas
	on what I did wrong?  I would appreciate any hints you can give me
	as I was looking forward to trying out your emacs.  Thanx a lot.

Have any Amigos out there gotten me3.9 to compile and run with Manx 3.6?
I should note that the ANSI terminal switch was defined, because there was
not one specifically for the Amiga.  Should I be using another one?  Thank
you one and all.
