Hi.

Does anyone have a version of GNU Emacs running under VMS that has
been modified so that, if you have an emacs running, shell out and
then invoke emacs from the subprocess, you attach to the original
emacs rather than creating a new one?

Our data analysis system uses subprocesses for all kinds of things, and
it's become common to see each person with two or three emacs running
under the same login - these vanish and are recreated as the subprocesses
change.  I suspect that we can take a significant load off the system
if we can set up so that you only get one emacs.

If such a beast is available, where can I get it.  Unfortunately, I
no longer have the source for our current version of emacs - it had
to be deleted to save space, and was not written on any of our
backups (this happened a long time ago - several years).  If necessary,
I can ftp the sources from prep.ai.mit (or whatever) but I'd prefer to
get a VMS BACKUP save set if at all possible (preferably with emacs
built and dumped already to run under VMS 5.4 as the time it would take
to rebuild can really be better spent elsewhere)

Thanks,
John
