This isn't a problem with the compiler.  It is a problem with the input
routine of MicroEmacs 3.10.

MicroEmacs will finish processing all input before before redisplaying
the screen.  But the input code for the Amiga, when checking to see if
there is more input, will WAIT for more input.  So hence, there is
ALWAYS more input and the screen is NEVER redisplayed.

A quick hack to get MicroEmacs working is a one-line change to always
redisplay in main.c. I would like to get a hold of fixes to this
problem. Can anyone tell me were they are available via FTP? Understand
they are pending for comp.sys.amiga.sources, but I don't get that
newsgroup on the Internet.
