I recently bought the Berkenmeyer MT C SHELL and so far I've gotten it to do precious little for me. I wanted to edit the login file and then create a command file to compile and link a 'C' program but I can't get my EMACS editor to run. I figured that the EMACS.PRG and EMACS.RC files had to be in some special directory but not knowing for sure which, I placed copies in every directory in the system. No luck. When I get the prompt I type EMACS, this crashes the system, leaving the undocumented error message: RTX Fatal Error Running: emacs.prg p_delete loop in exception PC 0002cd08 SR 2700 State: 0484 Pri: 10 IOFLAGS 0000 DTA: 0001e26 Drive: D Path: \USR\ROOT\ PID NAME CPU PRI PC STATE 00032608 ROOT 00:03 # 10 0002e30e in_dos Exec_wait 00036cd0 emacs.prg 00:00 # 10 0002cd08 Running in_dos Pexec 00036f2c csh.prg 00:15 # 10 0002e308 in_dos Pexec Exec 00037188 IDLE 00:12 # 0 0002cf0a Ready I'm reading Anderson & Anderson's book on the C Shell but I'm so new to it and the Berkenmeyer documentation is so sparce that I am stuck here. Can anyone help?

| 197.1 | software under mt c shell | CIMBAD::POWERS | I Dream Of Wires - G. Numan | Mon Aug 15 1988 19:19 | 23 |
re .0
I too have "Beckemeyer"'s Mt C Shell. I think it is a fairly
good product, but I experienced the same problems you are now having
not much software works under it. This is mainly because the ST's
operating system is so buggy, that a lot of software companies write
their own workaround's. David has published on usenet, and is avail.
from his bbs, a list of do's, and dont's when it comes to writing
software to be able to run under MT C shell. I think even tacklebox
ST even contains a section on do's and dont's. There is not much
else that can be done. You will find, as you purchase more software,
and get more PD stuff, that a lot of stuff, doesn't work at all
with other stuff. I've gone into this in other notes, so I won't
here. You might want to look for another version of emacs. I do
know that mark williams c comes with an emacs editor, and mark williams
c works under the c shell. I also know Jeff Lomicka has an emacs
editor he has been working on, you might want to try his out.
sorry, thats the best advice i can give

It could be failing because of some things I did in the latest ST versions of Microemacs 3.9e. Note that microemacs 3.9e to 3.9n is a GEM program. It only looks like a TOS program. If someone with the MT shell is willing to work with me for a few days, we should be able to get it to work. I would very much like to see the list of Do's and Don'ts. There's a few tricks pulled in 3.9e or 3.9n that would scare away most multiprocessing techniques. | |||||

I would be glad to work with you on MT C shell, I think I told you
the other day when I was down visiting you, that I was moving to New
Hampshire this coming weekend, and everything is all packed right now.
When I get settled in, and get everything all unpacked, Ill stop by
with the info, etc.

I have gotten ME.PRG (uEMACS) to work under the MT-C shell. My
only complaint is that it doesn't return the screen colors back
to what they were before it was run. I should probably try the
GEM prefix I run the editor.
One gotcha I encountered with ME.PRG is when I edited a file
which was write protected. I couldn't exit the editor and no
error message was returned.
