Subject: DECnet support...

This is still for the future, since I'm occupied with autoconf right now,
but today I had a wish for a PHONE mode in emacs.  This would need direct
DECnet support to work correctly.  Would such support be interesting?
Right now, only TCP/IP is directly supported by Emacs.

How I'd build the PHONE mode?  Ahemm, I have some VMS source to look at :-).

The "phase V" of DECnet, DECnet/OSI, an optional-at-additional-cost
extra component, encapsulates DECnet packets over IP.  Perhaps, if it has a
callable interface, we could learn about how/where we could interface
the DECnet support to the Emacs TCP/IP support?

   I hope this doesn't mean we'll get spam on this list.

God no!  It's not a mainstream newsgroup.  It's gatewayed to
local.gnu.emacs-testers on my machine, and I do not feed that newsgroup
anywhere.  I'm just gatewaying for my own private use, to see if I
work better with it that way.

Subject: Emacs with eXcursion

Hi

(This is really not an Emacs-problem, but it annoys me the most when I'm using
Emacs, so I'll ask here anyway.)

Does anyone have any experience from using Emacs with eXcursion? I have
switched from DECwindows to Windows NT 4.0 (Intel) with eXcursion V2.1. and
the keys are not working as they used to.

I'm using a swedish PC-keyboard where the right Alt-key is called "AltGr"
and is used to access characters like [ and ], for which there is no room on
the normal keys. For example: <8> gives "8", <Shift-8> gives "(" and 
<AltGr-8> gives "[".

In the default eXcursion setup there is no distinction between Alt and AltGr.
They both send "[" when pressed together with <8>. Emacs, however, interprets
<Alt-8> as M-[, which is undefined.

While I was still using DECwindows I had an xmodmap-script that changed the
right Alt key to mode_switch and I was able to get the AltGr effect as it
works on native PC programs. When I use that script on eXcursion I do get the
<AltGr-8> => "[" effect, but Emacs stops recognizing the left Alt key. Ergo
no more convenient M-v etc.

I have now redefined M-[ to be [, but with this method I loose M-<, which is
"|".

Any ideas on how to solve this?
(Again, sorry if this is off-topic.)

Subject: MANDATORY UPDATE: Bug in vmsgmalloc.c found

Thanks to the kind help from Maurizio Loreti <LORETI@mxsld2.pd.infn.it>,
I've been able to find a bug in vmsgmalloc.c, a bug that has been there
for a long time, and it amazes me it hasn't been found before now.

To correct the bug, you just need to apply the following patch:

*** ed1928_stable:[src]vmsgmalloc.c	Wed Dec 25 16:39:52 1996
--- ed1928_hacking:[src]vmsgmalloc.c	Mon Feb 24 20:39:34 1997
***************
*** 1550,1555 ****
--- 1550,1557 ----
        if (tmpadr[1][0] == -1
  	  || tmpadr[1][1] - tmpadr[1][0] + 1 < increment)
  	return NULL;
+       if (result >= vms_fake_heap_end && result < vms_real_heap_start)
+ 	result = tmpadr[1][0];
        vms_brk_current = result + increment;
        if (vms_brk_end < tmpadr[1][1] + 1)
  	vms_brk_end = tmpadr[1][1] + 1;


or if you prefer to get the whole file, get vmsgmalloc.c from
ftp://vms.gnu.ai.mit.edu/gnu-vms/software/snapshots/emacs-19_28/src/
