- Having just fought this battle, I will try to answer.
- The problem is that whoever wrote the s-sunos4.h file
- forgot about sun 3's, which have different relocation information
- than sun 4's. The solution is to use the s-sunos4-obsolete.h
- system file instead. I suppose one might try to fix
- up unexsunos4.c to work with a sun 3, but I haven't really
- looked at it yet.
-
- While we are on the topic of lemacs on a sun 3/60,
- now that I have it compiled I find the redisplay
- and cursor movement unbearbly slow, much slower than epoch
- on the same platform. The worst part seems to be moving
- the cursor from one line to the next (with C-P or C-N).
- If I hold either key down for a second or so emacs gets
- behind in displaying the cursor and just gives up, then
- displays the cursor half a screen up the page.
- What is making this so much slower? Is it the support
- for fonts of different heights on the same line?
