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.
