- I have a few questions about the usage of Emacs 1.26 (the
- implementation of 18.58) on an Amiga 3000 with 6megs of RAM and a 52 meg HD. I
- can get the basic program to work correctly, i.e. I can load files in, edit
- them, save em back out, edit preferences, etc. I have a question concerning
- the usage of the M-x-run... commands. This includes LISP, ProLog, dired, and a
- couple of other things. Under the Unix system I use, things like LISP and
- dired ran more or less as advertised. Now, after getting fifo.library and
- Fifo-Handler (Matt Dillon) I wanted to see if I could use these things on the
- Amiga version. Unfortunetely, I keep getting the error message
- "vfork-insufficient memory" or something like that. I know I have enough
- memory (is 3.5 megs free enough?) so there must be something wrong with my
- setup. Either that, or lisp and dired are separarte emacs applications that do
- not exist yet for the Amiga port. (if I recall, I believe that M-x-run-lisp is
- not supported yet, but dired is). There was no real troubleshooting guide
- other than the one in the installation doc, so I was wondering if anyone knew
- what was happening.
- All replies email or otherwise are appreciated.
