I've come across a rather nasty bug. It shows up in the following configurations: Gnuemacs 18.56 under SunOS 4.1 on Sparc Epoch 3.2 under SunOS 4.1 on Sparc and 3/60 It does not occur in gnuemacs 18.56 under Dynix (using s-bsd4-2.h) on a Sequent Balance. (Why!?) No other configurations have been tried. Now the bug: Any files passed to gnuemacs or epoch on the command line are looked for in the home directory, not the working directory. For instance, say I have a directory "foo" in my home directory with file "bar" in it. My working directory is "foo." When I type "xemacs bar" or "epoch bar", they come up and claim to be editing a new file. Looking at the buffer list, I see that they are editing "bar" in my home directory. Indeed, if a "bar" exists in my home directory, they read that one, not the one from "foo." Of course, once emacs is started, I can use emacsclient in directory "foo" and "bar" is correctly loaded. So, is there a patch? A newer version? Any help appreciated. -- ======================================= = Simon Rademacher = = rademach%tramp@boulder.colorado.edu =
