SO FAR AS I CAN TELL, emacs is the only thing effected by this. granted, emacs is one of the most fussy programs out there, and can spot problems in a multitude of things. i understand that there are other editors out there, and i did not intend to start another editor war [heading this off before it starts], but to me the statement "learn nvi" is unacceptable. i am comfortable with emacs. anyhow, i have asked about the 3.0 status several times now, and am willing to stick it out in the interest of moving ahead. one big question, how accurate is the "Design ... 4.4BSD" [1996, McKusick, et al.] book in regards to the 3.0 effort. i understand that the vm is completely different than described in the book. is there a master listing of differences? i guess, these questions actually should be on the -current list, i'll be subscribing to that one forthwith. jim -- All opinions expressed are mine, if you | "I will not be pushed, stamped, think otherwise, then go jump into turbid | briefed, debriefed, indexed, or radioactive waters and yell WAHOO !!! | numbered!" - #1, "The Prisoner" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inet: jbryant@tfs.net AX.25: kc5vdj@wv0t.#neks.ks.usa.noam grid: EM28pw voice: KC5VDJ - 6 & 2 Meters AM/FM/SSB, 70cm FM. http://www.tfs.net/~jbryant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HF/6M/2M: IC-706-MkII, 2M: HTX-212, 2M: HTX-202, 70cm: HTX-404, Packet: KPC-3+
