GNU EMACS 18.59 PATCHES FOR VMS version 3.1.5 Created 01-DEC-1992 These are a set of patches which makes VMS work a lot better. Among the additions and changes are: - DECWindows interfacing - Pseudo-ttys - Subprocesses a la UNIX - Networking a la UNIX - Better handling of VMS files and directories, with completion of both file names and directories. - Display of 8-bit characters (I've use the works of Howard Gayle.) To get these patches, just send a message to fileserv@ttt.kth.se with this line: SEND EMACS-1859-PATCHES This set of patches is around 1Mb worth. To be able to apply the patches in this kit, you need the UNIX patch for VMS. You may get it by adding the following line to your message: SEND DIFF-PATCH That kit is also available on most VMS archive sites. Also, these patches are a continuously evolving project. Bug fixes and further enhancement are provided as soon as possible. Send this line to fileserv@ttt.kth.se for more info: LIST EMACS-1859-UPDATES As a matter of fact, there is an update there right now, which will upgrade a GNU Emacs 18.58 with VMS patches 2.1.5 applied to Emacs 18.59 with VMS patches 3.1.5 applied. This update is HUGE (about 5120 blocks, or 2.56 MB)! Some packages have also been fixed/built to work on VMS. For example GNUS 3.14.1 (Which I'm using from my VMS account at this very moment).
