Hey Nancy!

How does the following compare with your version of uEmacs? Is it missing anything? Currently I have it compiled on x86_64 and stripped it is 133008 bytes as a 64-bit executable.

FILE NAME COMPLETION

File name completion can be used with all file commands (find-file,
view-file, ...) but it works only under UNIX and MS-DOS. It is invoked
by a <Space> or <Tab>. If there exist more than one possible completions
they are displayed one by one. If the file name contains wild card
characters, the name is expanded instead of simple completion. Special characters can be entered verbatim by prefixing them with ^V (or ^Q). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Maurice!

Currently I have it compiled on x86_64 and stripped it is 133008
bytes as a 64-bit executable.

132944 bytes on aarch64-raspi3b+-linux-gnu as well as a 64-bit executable. Here is what 'file' shows;

em: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1,
for GNU/Linux 4.4.0, stripped

Note that I reformatted the output to make it more fidonet-ish.

Also you forgot to mention that 'uEmacs/Pk version 4.0.15' can do UTF-8 ... if it matters any.

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.

How does the following compare with your version of uEmacs? Is it
missing anything? Currently I have it compiled on x86_64 and stripped
it is 133008 bytes as a 64-bit executable.

The quoting messed up the formatting a little, so I went through and
fixed that first... A quick glance looks like it's pretty much what I
have.... I'll leave this all here.... and I'll import my emacs.hlp to
the next message.... (but the reformatting is as much to let me read
this easier while comparing to mine)...

I note that the order of the pages is a little different, and there may
be some new stuff in yours.... at the very least, there are commands
that I'm not presently using... :) But most of it looks quite
familiar.... and the commands I do use are all there... :)

I had a couple of other tastes last week at my family's camping... An ok tequila and a somewhat ok caramel B.V.... I'd not brought along my
Macallan to share, not knowing who'd be there... so was dependent on
whatever other people (mainly my youngest sister) had available...

I'm sure I'll still have plenty of the Macallan when our toasts come
round.... :)

Hallo Nancy!

I had a couple of other tastes last week at my family's camping

I had a couple shots of Polish potatoe vodka a week ago. Nowhere near as good as Glenlivet which as we speak is nowhere to be found within reach. For that I'll probably wait 157 days.

Strange how other tastes just pale in contrast with a good single
malt... ;) I do have my Macallan 12 with more than half the bottle
yet... it should last until the time appointed... ;)
