- Subject: Hack/patch Wanted!
- To: AMETHYST-USERS at MIT-MC
-
- Anybody have a patch to MINCE 2.6 that will allow it to find and use
- the MINCE.SWP file located in A0: while you're in some other User
- area? I know I can try using DUPUSR2 to copy the directory entries to
- all the User areas I use, but that tends to destroy the directory
- rather quickly. PIPing copies is not feasible - no room...
-
- Any ideas?

-
- the easiest (and poerhaps most kludgy way) is to load up
- DU, and duplicate the entry for mince.swp. just changes the
- user number (the first byte) to whatever user number that you want
- the swap file to show up in.

- There's a program called dupuser which does it for you.

- Does anybody have any code modifying mince to edit C code? I'd write some
- if only I knew how to hack mince, and do it for LISP too while I was at it.

- amount of trouble getting mince and scribble to run. If there is a

- To: AMETHYST-USERS at MIT-MC
-
- Is there any user of all three or any two of the subject products
- willing to give us a comparison of these products? I'm looking to
- find out not so much as what they do the same (as compared to MINCE
- 2.6 as a base), but what they do different.
-
- I would also prefer that the principals, who may be listening, NOT
- reply unless there is either a gross piece of misinformation or
- misunderstanding involved, and only then when all user replies appear
- to have come in.
-
- Thanks,
- Frank

- Still wading thru accumulated mail... What prompted the question is
- that I use Mince 2.6 exclusively for writing a very large program
- (which I have conveniently broken into reasonable chunks), and we
- recently received the other two which I have yet to install or even
- read the manuals. Since it doesn't appear that there will be a Mince
- 2.7 (or 3.0 or 4.0 or whatever), I really wanted to know if I should
- jump to one of the other two, or simply be content with what I have
- (and maybe take the plunge and start incorporating some of those
- changes others have made, and, eventually, a few of my own)...
