Date: 10 Sep 93 07:00:53 Organization: Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Lines: 16 Message-ID: <SULLIVAN.93Sep10070053@lethbridge.cs.rose-hulman.edu> References: <michaelv.747457127@ponderous.cc.iastate.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: lethbridge.cs.rose-hulman.edu In-reply-to: michaelv@iastate.edu's message of Wed, 8 Sep 1993 02:58:47 GMT A short summary of Michael's problem: emacs 18.59 compiles under 0.9 but fails to run because of changed executable format. A workaround is: recompile with CANNOT_DUMP defined. As soon as temacs is loaded, kill the build, and rename temacs to emacs. CANNOT_DUMP makes temacs load everything every time it is run. This takes about 6 secs on my 386/33. Sigh. This does not seem to work with emacs 19.17 for some reason, but it does work with 18.59. -- Fred Sullivan Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Wilkes University fsulliva@wilkes1.wilkes.edu Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 (717) 824-4651 Ext. 4846
