   Several people have asked about getting GNU Emacs running (properly!)
   on a Symmetry.

I haven't done it all on all combinations, but I've done emacs
18.48-present on dynix 2.x - present.

I've had luck with cc -O, cc, and gcc (use -traditional.  otherwise,
it compiles, but doesn't run.) in most forms.  Use m-sequent.h, and
s-bsd4-3.h.  The only trick is that under X you need to put a
"(set-input-mode nil nil)" in a default.el for your system.

   I haven't bothered trying atscc yet -- I'm well satisfied with gcc
   and see no reason to change, since I don't have much use (yet) for
   the parallel processing capabilities Sequent's C compilers provide.

same here.  Actually, I need similar facilities but all of sequent's
pplib require related processes.
