Hey, there's a new (to me, at last - it seems to be from 1996 :-) version 4.00 out! After some fighting (mainly against "char* isn't compatible to unsigned char*"), I managed to build it from source. For anyone interested: ftp://ftp.pdv-systeme.de/vms/ and in there ue400dev-vms.zip the complete source distribution, VMS and other parts tweaked by yours truly ue400vms-vax.zip the OpenVMS/VAX V6.2 image + data files ue400vms-alp.zip the OpenVMS/Alpha V6.2 binary + data files The images were built with SMG support. I've not yet re-incorporated the ability to serve as a mail editor, or to use the suspend-emacs function (that my 3.11 and 3.12 versions had). The archives don't include documentation; please get it from the web site. cu, Martin -- One OS to rule them all | Martin Vorlaender | VMS & WNT programmer One OS to find them | work: mv@pdv-systeme.de One OS to bring them all | http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/ And in the Darkness bind them.| home: martin@radiogaga.harz.de
