Dear emacs, emacs-18.58 did not run successfully on a 3b1 running the unix V 3.5 OS. The machine has 4Meg of RAM and a 40 Meg hard disk, 30% free. I thought I did everything right. I ran make install.sysv after selecting the m- and s- files corresponding to the 3b1 7300. The last step of installation did not take place, I got the error message "cannot load cpset." So I moved $BUILD/src/xemacs to /usr/local/bin/emacs and when I type emacs I get the error message "cannot load termcap database." But there is a file called /etc/termcap I'm not sure it's the right one. If there is a correct one can you send the termcap file to me! I then tried it again after commenting out the last few lines of the m-7300.h file. Now I get error messages like "Memory fault" or "Bus Error" I was optimistic that emacs would compile on the 3b1 since Stallman had made an entry in the Changelog in 1989. By the way, I am only interested in running emacs on a 3b1 if the 3-button mouse can be enabled to cut, copy and paste as one can in the X-Windows emacs. If you know that this is impossible, I'd be glad to abandon the project. Thanks, Bill Richter
