- Hello all,
-
- This is to announce a quick little patch to emacs 19.19 that allows
- you to use open-network-stream over term. This is handy if you use
- gopher or the World Wide Web from within emacs.
-
- The patches were extremely simple, but there is still one problem.
- If you try to open-network-stream when the term server is not running,
- it will exit emacs completely. This is a problem with term because it
- calls exit() from within the connect_server() routine instead of just
- return(1). If you feel like it you can change this behavior by
- editing the connect_server function in /usr/src/term/client.c.
-
- This also assumes that you have the /usr/src/term/client.a library
- in /usr/lib/libclient.a. You can change the defines in
- emacs-19.19/src/s/linux.h to change this.
-
- To compile with TERM support, all you have to do is apply this
- patch (patch -p1 < emacs19.term), then compile (make all).
-
- To remove term support, just edit eacs-19.19/src/s/linux.h and
- remove the #define TERM line, then recompile.
-
- This has been submitted back to the FSF and rms says it will be
- merged into the next release.
-
- Enjoy,
- Bill P.
