This sounds promising. Until now I have been reluctant to upgrade to
v1.4. Actually I have already tried it some time ago only to find that
Mozilla, XEmacs mail and news facilities and the C-compiler did not work.
Can you tell me if the email and news facilities of XEmacs work under
v1.4?
And what about Mozilla for v1.4. Is it available in a version which
is able to redraw the window?
And does the C-compiler work without any problems on a StrongArm model:
cpu0 at mainbus0: SA-110 rev 2 DC enabled IC enabled WB enabled EABT
cpu0: SA-110 with bugged STM^ instruction
?
For your information, I could not use the XEmacs (v21.3 I believe) you
gave me under v1.3a.
Best Regards
