? Hmm -- I have had 18.50 running on a Symmetry for four months without
? problems.  I just compiled it with s-bsd4-2.h and m-sequent.h (which 
? is intended for a ns32k machine) -- I didn't have to diddle anything 
? at all.  The only trick was taking -O out of CFLAGS (-g is not required,
? as someone suggested long ago).

? Seems to work fine -- is there something I should know about?  
? Does this fail with 18.51?

I retract my request for m-symmetry.h, at least for myself. Other people
may find it useful, so perhaps a posting is worthwhile.

Probably the best thing for m-symmetry.h to do is #include m-sequent.h,
and add #defines or #undefs as appropriate.

I built an emacs using the vanilla m-sequent.h and it seemed to work, except
it core-dumped when I typed ^S^S to search for the previous search string.
So I upped PURESIZE and also #defined C_ALLOCA, to include the portable
PD implementation by Doug Gwyn that RMS hacked, and it worked.
