Heres a couple of notes for those with manx 3.4a in regards to
my aux-handler:


Making AUX HANDLER shrink from 5736 bytes to approx 4450 bytes:
---------------------------------------------------------------

One thing I meant to do before posting my Aux-handler was to remove
the Large Code/Date switches. I had compiled this way while debugging just
to play it safe. Anyway I tried it now with-out +C +D and the executable
shrinks from 5736 bytes to 4344 bytes. (Link with c32.lib instead of cl32.lib)
(This is all with manx 3.4a.)

Small (minor) Bug fix:
----------------------

Problem: Handler eats up ^C in RAW mode when it should'nt.

Fix: add the line in read_ser() that's indicated below:

    if (c == 3) {       /* ^C typed so immediately send the signal */
==>     if (!(aux_stat & AUX_RAW))
    	c = 0;
    	if (reader)
            Signal(reader,SIGBREAKF_CTRL_C);
    }


PATCH TO MAKE MicroEmacs 3.x run through AUX:
---------------------------------------------

(This was even easier than I thought it would be!)

Just add the indicated lines below (=>) to the 'termio.c' module and
recompile.
What it does: When invoked emacs will now only open a RAW window if 'Run',
if you just invoke emacs eg: '1> emacs file' from it will change the console
to RAW mode and use that. Since my aux-handler supports RAW mode it works
the same way to a ansi (vt100) style terminal.

ttopen()
{
#if     AMIGA

=>	extern int Enable_Abort;
=>	
=>	Enable_Abort = 0;
=>	if (IsInteractive(Input()) && IsInteractive(Output())) {
=>	    terminal = (long)Output();
=>	    set_raw();
=>	}
=>	else	

            terminal = Open("RAW:0/0/640/200/MicroEMACS 3.8b", NEW);
#endif


ttclose()
{
#if     AMIGA
        amg_flush();

=>        if (Output() != terminal) 
	     Close(terminal);
=>        else
=>            set_con();

#endif

Ok, so now we can dail up, use shell, emacs a file, compile it, hummm... 
all we need now it a mini kermit server. (And a hard drive, sniff)
