When I used set term=ansi before running emacs I got the error termcap data base not found and emacs exited. There is a termcap.src file under the etc directory. Should I compile it to termcap and if so what will compile termcap.src? We had gotten these problems solved a few years ago, but my hard drive died and wasn't backed up at the time. If possible I need emacs 19.34 to write to the screen the same way printf() does in stdio.h. Earlier emacs wouldn't run until I fixed the path and environment statements in dos, but bash doesn't run from the djgpp directory even with djgpp=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env set, so I'm thinking not all applications are finding djgpp.env and its contents or perhaps I have to update djgpp.env too. A final set up question, I once read a command on comp.os.msdos.djgpp which I used earlier that went out and found all installed info files and updated the dir. file for me. Does anyone know the command? I'd like to get all of the info files properly locateable. -- -------------------- jude
