Hello!

    Epoch v. 4.2 has a very irritating problem on my Decstation
5000/200; it sometimes decides to print output from stderr _very_
slowly in compilation mode (for example, 1 line per second).  I don't
think it is an epoch problem, because the same problem does not occur
on the Sun, and I have seen this behaviour in other Decstation tools.

    However, I would much prefer it if this problem did not exist; has
anyone any suggestions ?

Thanks,
-peter.

(this is not an epoch specific problem).

 is a particularly poor interaction between the Ultrix C compiler
and emacs/epoch's reading off of the error output. It appears that the
Ultrix C compiler spits out the cute little "-------^" one character
at a time, and that emacs doesn't handle a stream coming in such small
little pieces very well. An emacs guru will know more.

The problem does not occur when using gcc. As an added bonus,
compile.el can parse gcc's error output, so there's some reason to
want to do it :-)

a couple of people have pointed out that the newest version of gnuserv
does exactly this. Grab gnuserv.tar.Z off the elisp-archive (not in
the epoch directory, I think it's in "packages") and install
gnuserv.el.epoch. Works like a charm - this buffer itself is of that
variety.

(what's gnuserv, you ask? Run it in your emacs, and set EDITOR and
VISUAL to be "gnuclient". When you run "gnuclient" it attaches to your
running emacs and adds in a new buffer. Big win.)
