Short: GNU Emacs-19.34 V2.11 Intuition 28bit
Author: Patched by bertw@knuut.de (Bert Winkelmann)
Uploader: bertw@knuut.de (Bert Winkelmann)
Version: AmigaOS patchlevel 2.11
Type: util/gnu
Requires: OS-v39 (for GUI), 8MB RAM, 68ec20, IxEmul library
This distribution holds version 19.34 of GNU Emacs, the extensible,
customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor.
{Sorry about my bad English. Note: for a list of improvements to the
previous version, see the list at the end of this readme file}}
This Amiga port, like most IxEmul ports, is probably more close to its
baseline version than previous ports. Despite of this, it does have
also some of the Amiga features (ARexx, AppWindow, ASL). The
Intuition based GUI is very similar to the X GUI. You should be able
to use all GUI based Lisp applications without making any adaptions.
Normally you may want to use this program with Intuition, but you can
also use it on terminals via AUX:. It's also possible to run it on X,
but you need a different configured programfile version for that.
Amiga related Features
======================
AREXX port (not in X nor TTY-only versions)
Intuition-GUI: multiple colors and font styles * multiple frames
(Intuition windows) on one or more public screens (and invisible
frames too) * vertical scroll bars * pens are not really obtained from
system until first use in drawing. * Workbench iconify and drag'n'drop
* clipboard support * pop-up menu (configurable, scroll-able, full
keyboard control) * ASL file+font requester (used by "Amiga" menu) *
provides most of old "amiga-" LISP-functions for compatibility with
formerly Emacs-18 AmigaOS port (e.g. amiga-set-geometry) * 2 different
modes for numeric keypad (NumLock) * provides Meta, Super and Hyper
modifier keys
Console: amiga-set-font implements font changing on CON:
TTY: you can open a sub shell if your shell implements no job-control.
Version Numbers
===============
There are two version numbers. One ist the baseline version number
(19.34). Note that the diff archives contains currently patches for
two different baseline versions (19.34 and 20.3).
The other number specifies the version of my patches (like V2.11).
The current version is V2.11. The version for the binary main archive
may be different (like V2.9). It will be updated automatically if you
install any of the program archive on top it (they contain not only
the program files but also some updates to the main archive too (delta
update)).
Parts of this Distribution
==========================
There exists both a source and binary distribution.
Source Code
-----------
The source distribution comes in two different forms: a small diff
archive and a big complete archive.
------------------ ----------------------------------------
em1934dif.lha - GNU Emacs 19.34 V2.11 diffs
em1934src.lha - GNU Emacs 19.34 V2.10 source
------------------ ----------------------------------------
Note: The LhA archives may contain "tar.gz" or even "tar.bz2"
archives. You will need a "tar" unarchiver (tar/untar) and the
correct decompression program (gzip for .gz; bzip2 for .bz2). I will
limit the use of bzip2 to the really big (and rather uninteresting)
source archive.
Note: If you want to compile Emacs yourself and if you have acces to
the original baseline sources, you need only the diffs archive. All
what you have to do ist invoking "sh install.sh 19.34 src/emacs-19.34"
to patch the source. It's tested. Otherwise, if you want to use the
already patched source archive coming with this distribution (V2.10),
you also should have the diff archive to update the source tree to the
newest patchlevel (V2.11).
Binaries
--------
The binary distribution consist of a single main archive and some
Emacs program files (in different flavors). Note: The installation
should go into the "gg:" directory. This could be a multi-assign too.
Emacs depends on this. Please read the README* file in the program
archive to learn how to make the dumpfile (it's very easy now).
Note: Install the main archive *before* the program archive.
Otherwise the newer files in the program archive will be overwritten
by older versions from the main archive.

What does 28, 28s and 32 bit mean?
----------------------------------
First you have to use "ShowConfig" to learn about the address spaces
where your machine has its FastMem installed. If your machine does
not have RAM above 28bit, then everything is fine. Just use the
"28bit" version, which is faster than the others:
normal/28 - RAM inside 28bit address range is usable. It runs on
machines having RAM upto $0fffffff only. A4000 and A1200
with Blizzard-A1230-I (not IV!) can run this program.
If your machine has RAM above 28bit you have to use one of the
following program versions which implements segmented RAM. Note that
the version "32" will work on all machines but runs slower than the
"28s" version. If you are unsure, just try the normal version first.
It will give you an error message if it cannot run on your machine.
Then try the 28s program and at last the 32bit program.
seg1/28s - RAM inside of one 28bit segment is usable. It runs on
machines with FastMem above 28bit RAM in range
$x0000000..$xfffffff (i.e. the high nibble (x) must be
the same for all usable RAM). A1200 with Blizzard-A1230-IV
can run this program. Note: You don't have to tell Emacs
the value of the nibble, it's automatic of course. But if
you have the source, you could compile a slightly faster
program using the #define AMAL_CONST_SEGMENT (e.g. make
CPPFLAGS+="-DAMAL_CONST_SEGMENT=0x60000000").
seg3/32 - RAM inside 8 independent 25bit segments usable. It runs on
machines with both FastMem above and below 28bit. (allows
using of mixed RAM (Chip, Z2, Z3) not being in a common
28bit block (i.e. with a different high nibble)).
Here comes additional info taken from my WWW page.
===========================================================================
DESCRIPTION
This project is about running GNU Emacs 19+20 on AmigaOS using the
IxEmul library and GCC. It supports both the native AmigaOS window
system "Intuiton" (>=V39) and X (and of course plain terminals too).
The Intuition GUI implements almost all features of the X GUI except
16bit fonts. You will also get Drag'n'Drop and an ARexx port.
I have tried to make it so compatible as possbile to prevent you and
me from changing any LISP packages. You should never have to change
path syntax, font names, window system names. On the other hand, you
can use ASL file and font requesters via the Amiga menu item. You can
use AmigaDOS path syntax in some LISP commands too.
The current patch-set supports the following baseline versions:
GNU-Emacs-19.34b, 20.2, 20.2.92, 20.2.97, 20.3.
