The new version of UNIPRESS Emacs, just delivered, should not
be installed on Series 300 HP-UX machines.  I just finished installing
the product, and find it almost incapacitated with bugs, both
on character terminals and X Window System support.  The Series
800 version is an unknown, since I stopped installations when
the 300 version bombed.  The 800 version is supposed to be the
same as the 300 though :-(.  Keep your old version installed for
the time being.  If you want to keep up with the saga, send me mail...

This is a real shame, since the X support looks to be quite nice,
with mouse placement of the cursor and such (almost as good as
the standard PC environment of four years ago :-).  Like normal,
however, UNIPRESSs' manuals are horrible, and customer support
is lethargic at best.  Every time I get a new UNIPRESS product
I spend weeks working out the bugs.  Grrr...
