I have tried to compile emacs 3.7 with the Manx 3.2a compiler.  It
compiles fine and links.  However, when I try to run a few strange
things happen.

          1) on both 1.1 and 1.2, using the DOS commands calling Execute
             will produce software errors randomly.  I have made sure
             that only longs are used and it works sometimes, and then just
             fails.  Cannot reproduce on the Lattice compiled emacs.  Is there
             a problem with the Manx Execute library function?

          2) If a buffer gets modified, than on exiting you are queried
             as to whether you really wish to leave.  After answering
             no, a ^X^S will just hang. It appears that emacs will has
             exited, leaving the screen there and the users mouth open.
             This does not happen with the Lattice version.  Anyone have
             any ideas (perhaps a 32 bit incompatability somewhere)

          3) Trying to compile with the +L option doesn't seem to work,
             because the preprocessor complains that the target of #if's
             are not integers, so it appears that this switch is doing
             something I'm not aware of.

Would appreciate any comments you might have (perhaps will work under
3.4?).
