Recompile problems...

[Scott Jenson <JENSON@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA>]

To whom it may concern,

	When the SUMEX DEC-2060 computer facility here at Stanford first
started, we got our EMACS lock stock and barrel from another 2060 on campus.
Things have been great until we tried to write our own changes to the
source code. In recompiling, the following seems to work fine:

@midas
*temp_teco
@iddt
*;ytemp
*purify$g

But, the next line:

*mmrun$purify$dump$nemacs.exe$

Bops you into an emacs buffer and flashes a "Attempted to macro a
meaningless number?" error at you. Does anyone know of any host quirks
that may cause this? And while we're at it, is there any documentation of
any kind on general EMACS support, this hit and miss approach that we're
using is just plain tedious.

Thanks in advance,
