I couldnt resist follow up the aXe editor with emacs 19...
emacs 19 seems to be working fine. i have been running several
prelease versions without problem. i configured as:
./configure i386-unknown-bsd4.3 --with-x

it seems that patches are necesary for:
dispnew.c 	: stdio internals different, possibly this?
#define  PENDING_OUTPUT_COUNT(FILE) ((FILE)->_p -(FILE)->_bf._base)
mem-limits.h	: need to use same routine as for BSD4_2
		  i just changed BSD4_2 to __386BSD__ in #ifndef's
xrdb.c 		: problem with getpwuid, so i commented out...
		   extern struct passwd *getpwuid ();

interested in hearing if there are right and if there are more 
things that need to be frobbed to make it perfect.
