EMACS Version 3.0 release notes Page 1
1 Introduction
This version of EMACS has a large number of bug fixes and new features
in it. Read the section on upgrading to EMACS V3.0 before you install
this version. Some of the changes are not compatible with EMACS V2.0.
2 Documentation
The EMACS documentation has been completely rewritten. There is a new
EMACS manual, called EMACS.MEM, these release notes, called
EMACS030.MEM and the on-line help. When in EMACS type Control-/ to
get into the help system, when in DCL type HELP EMACS.
The database used by describe-word-in-buffer has been extended to
cover V3 VMS system services, C runtime functions and BLISS-32
functions.
3 How to upgrade to EMACS V3.0
This section details the steps that are required to upgrade to version
V3.0 of EMACS.
O Install EMACS
The EMACS kit comes as a single file EMACS030.A, which is a
BACKUP saveset. Use VMSINSTAL to install the saveset. See
the section on "Installing EMACS"
O Convert Mock Lisp files
There are a number of changes to the Mock Lisp language that
are incompatible with V2 EMACS. The following is a list of
the most important changes:-
o error-occured spelling has been changed to
error-occurred.
o user-mode-line has been removed, use (setq mode-line
"%m") in place of (setq user-mode-line 0) and (setq
mode-line default-mode-line) in place of (setq
user-mode-line 1).
o set-terminal-characteristic has been replaced by a set of
variables. See the section "set-terminal-
characteristics".
o set-buffer-characteristic has been replaced by a set of
variables. See the section "set-buffer-characteristic".
After making the above changes you should be able to run your
MLisp packages and EMACSINIT file.
EMACS Version 3.0 release notes Page 2
O Rename EMACS package files for .COM to .MLP (MLisp Package).
O Make improvements to take advantage of new features of EMACS.
For example the undo system and the enter and exit hooks.
4 Reporting bugs and suggestions
Please send any suggestion for improving EMACS and reports of bugs to
MARVIN::SCOTT. We also receive the EMACS Digest from HUMAN::GOOD and
the usenet net.emacs mailings.
Please read the section in the manual on reporting bugs.
5 Changes since the last version
This section of the Release Notes identifies the addition, deletion
and changes to the commands and variables in EMACS. The first few
sections list the high level changes in EMACS. The later sections
give low level details.
5.1 EMACS DCL command
EMACS can now be called from DCL by using the command "EMACS". Below
is a summary of the EMACS command, type HELP EMACS to DCL to get more
detailed information on the parameters and qualifiers.
EMACS file-spec[,...] file-spec...
Qualifier Default
--------- -------
/[NO]LOG /LOG
/NAME[=name] /NAME=EMACS$terminal
/PACKAGE[=name] /PACKAGE=EMACS
/[NO]SUB_PROCESS /SUB_PROCESS
It is now possible to run packages and visit files, supplied in the
command line, after a pause-emacs. You no long have to write complex
DCL command procedures to make this feature work. For example:-
$ EMACS fred.txt
%EMACS-I-NEW, starting EMACS in sub-process EMACS$TTA3
Starts EMACS to edit the file "fred.txt".
$ EMACS joe.txt
%EMACS-I-ATTACH, re-starting EMACS in sub-process EMACS$TTA3
Restarts EMACS after a ``pause-emacs'' to edit "joe.txt" as well as
"fred.txt".
$ EMACS /PACKAGE=DIRED
%EMACS-I-ATTACH, re-starting EMACS in sub-process EMACS$TTA3
EMACS Version 3.0 release notes Page 3
Restarts EMACS to run dired, using the same EMACS that is editing
"joe.txt" and "fred.txt".
5.2 Packages
5.2.1 Key-binding definitions and MLisp packages -
Mock Lisp packages that define key bindings have been split into two
separate files to help customization. The default key bindings are
kept in files with an extension of .KEY. For example ABBREV.ML has
its key bindings in ABBREV.KEY. If you supply an ABBREV.KEY in your
EMACS$PATH or in a text library EMACS will use your key bindings, not
the defaults.
5.2.2 New packages -
* abbrev
This package makes it easier to add, change and list
abbreviations to EMACS.
* bufdired
This package give you a dired style way of manipulating
buffer in EMACS.
* dent
With this package you can indent and undent regions of text
by logical tabs. Very useful in block structured languages.
* EDTSIM
As the name suggests this is an EDT simulator. It fully
supports the KEYPAD for a VT100 style terminal.
* tabs
This package lets the <TAB> key tab to the next logical tab
stop. There is also a function un-tab, which moves you back
a logical tab stop.
* teco
This package lets you get at TECO from within EMACS.
* undo
Keeping the best till last. This is the package that makes
the undo facilities of EMACS available to you.
EMACS Version 3.0 release notes Page 4
5.2.3 Packages that have changed -
* dired
DIRED now has a fast mode, which does not use a subprocess.
In fast mode you do not get the size and date of the file.
* textmode
text-mode has been re-written to take advantage of new
features in EMACS. text-mode now justifies a paragraph with
ESC-j, the old binding was ESC-p.
text-mode defines the commands fill-and-justify-region and
fill-and-justify-paragraph.
5.3 Mini Buffer
The mini buffer is now a real buffer with all that implies. You can
set-up the local keymap for the mini buffer to use any key you like to
cause recognition, help and error exit. See the functions
``expand-and-exit'', ``help-and-exit'' and ``error-and-exit''. The
two keymaps that the mini buffer uses are called
``Minibuf-local-NS-map'' and ``Minibuf-local-map''.
5.4 Buffer restricted regions
It is now possible to restrict the amount of the buffer that can be
seen to be the current region. Use ``narrow-region'' to restrict and
``widen-region'' to see the full buffer again.
Command like ``beginning-of-file'' will go to the top of the buffer
restrict but command like ``write-modified-files'' will write out all
of the file.
See the documentation for more details.
5.5 Undoing operations or recovering from disaster.
EMACS now has an general purpose undo facility. Normally you would
use the undo package, which is invoked by typing ^X-^U. But you can
write your own using the undo function using, undo, undo-boundary,
undo-more.
If you undo too much, do not worry, you can undo undo's.
Undo boundaries are put between each key sequence that you hit. Where
key sequences are things like ESC-d, delete word, X, insert X and so
on.
EMACS Version 3.0 release notes Page 5
5.6 Buffer specific variables
EMACS now supports buffer specific variables. They are declared by
the function ``declare-buffer-specific''. In each buffer there is a
separate copy of the variable. text-mode, for example, uses buffer
specific variables to remember the left and right margins of the text
being justified for each buffer.
Each buffer variable has a default value, which can be set by
``set-default'' or ``setq-default''. When you use a buffer specific
variable for the first time its value is setup from the default.
5.7 Changes to the way system variables work
This version of EMACS makes two changes to the way the system
variables are used. First EMACS will do a range check on the values
that you set system variables to, like making sure the right-margin is
greater then the left-margin. If you attempt to set a variable that
is read-only to EMACS, EMACS will produce an error.
Secondly when a system variable is written it can cause a side effect,
for example setting ``tab-size'' to 4 will cause the screen to be
updated to reflect the change to ``tab-size''.
5.8 Tracing Mock Lisp
To aid in the debugging of Mock Lisp procedure EMACS has a trace
facility. The trace facility can be turned on to log execution of
Mock Lisp into a buffer or into the mini buffer. For details see
documentation on the variables ``trace-mode'' and
``trace-buffer-maximum''.
5.9 Error reporting for EMACSINIT.ML
EMACS now reports any error that stops your EMACSINIT.ML executing.
See also the variable ``error-message'', which contains the last error
message printed by EMACS.
5.10 Mock Lisp commands

The spelling of this function name has been corrected. Use
``error-occurred'' from now on.
5.10.2.3 save-window-excursion -
``save-window-excursion'' now saves the pattern of the windows on the
screen and restores them to the state they where in when saved.
5.10.3 Mock Lisp commands which have been removed -
EMACS Version 3.0 release notes Page 7
5.10.3.1 *defun -
The function performed by ``*defun'' is performed by ``defun''. See
the documentation on ``defun'' for details.
5.10.3.2 execute-mlisp-input -
This function has now been removed. You must now use
``execute-mlisp-file'' to load MLisp definition files into EMACS.

|*****************************************************************************
|
|* Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]?
Answer "YES" to have the file purges and "NO" if you wish to keep old
copies.
| EMACS can be installed on the system disk or on a separate
| disk, if the system disk does not enough disk space for 3500
| blocks used by EMACS.
|
|* Do you want to install EMACS on the system disk [YES]?
If you wish to install EMACS on your system disk answer "YES",
otherwise answer "NO". If you answer "NO" the installation procedure
will ask the next question.
|* Enter the device and directory to install EMACS in:
Answer with the disk and directory that you wish EMACS to be installed
in, for example "DISK$USER01:[EMACS]".
| This kit contains a release notes file, EMACS030.MEM.
|
|* How many copies would you like to print [0]:
Answer 0 if you do not want to print the these release notes or answer
with the number of copies that you want.
| EMACS can be run either as a sub-process or in the current
| process depending on the state of the /SUB_PROCESS switch
| specified on the command line.
|
| Running EMACS/SUB_PROCESS allows the user to switch between
| the parent process and EMACS easily with the pause-emacs EMACS
| command and the EMACS DCL command. However, each user using
| the /SUB_PROCESS switch uses an extra process slot (and
| considerably more system resources).
|
| Running EMACS/NOSUB_PROCESS does not allow the user to switch
| from EMACS to DCL using the pause-emacs EMACS command.
| However, the user can still switch between DCL and EMACS using
| the return-to-monitor EMACS command and the LOGOUT DCL
| command. Using EMACS this way causes EMACS to be run in the
| current process and, therefore, uses less system resource.
|
|* Do you wish /SUB_PROCESS to be the default [YES]?
Answer "YES" to have EMACS run in a sub-process by default.
The installation now continues unaided until the following message is
printed.
| The file EMACSTART.COM has been provided to set up the logical
| names that EMACS uses. You should edit your startup file to
| include the supplied commands.
|
| For example:
EMACS Version 3.0 release notes Page 11
|
| $ @DISK$USER01:[EMACS]EMACSTART SYSTEM DISK$USER01:[EMACS]
If you are installing EMACS on your system disk the example line will
read:-
| $ @SYS$MANAGER:EMACSTART SYSTEM
Now VMSINSTAL will move the file into their target directories. When
it has finished moving the file VMSINSTAL prints the message:-
| Successful installation of EMACS V3.0 at 00:37
|
|
|Enter the products to be processed from the next distribution volume set.
|* Products:
Answer "EXIT".
This completes the installation of EMACS V3.0.
