-Subject: 3b2 procedure to raise MAXMEM
-
-Below is the procedure I followed to allow enough memory for GnuEmacs to run
-on my 3b2/400. The end result of this is that a process can snarf up to 2Mb
-of memory. This can be a bit dangerous on a 2Mb machine, but I tried it and 
-it worked ok.

-sys      xt
-
-2] Edit the file which contains the parameter[s] you wish to change.
-In the following excerpt from /etc/master.d/kernel the value MAXMEM
-was raised from 256 to 1024.
-
-In V.3.0 and later releases, the parameter in question is MAXUMEM
-instead of MAXMEM.

-The following text was written by someone at IBM to describe an older
-version of the code for dumping on AIX.  It does NOT apply to
-the current version of Emacs.  It is included in case someone
-is curious.
-
-
-I (rms) couldn't understand the code, and I can't fully understand
-this text either.  I rewrote the code to use the same basic
-principles, as far as I understood them, but more cleanly.  This
-rewritten code does not always work.  In fact, the basic method 
-seems to be intrinsically flawed.
-
-Since then, someone else implemented a different way of dumping on
-the RS/6000, which does seem to work.  None of the following
-applies to the way Emacs now dumps on the 6000.  However, the
-current method fails to use shared libraries.  Anyone who might be
-interested in trying to resurrect the previous method might still
-find the following information useful.
-
-
-It seems that the IBM dumping code was simply set up to detect when
-the dumped data cannot be used, and in that case to act approximately
-as if CANNOT_DUMP had been defined all along.  (This is buried in
-paragraph 1.)  It seems simpler just to define CANNOT_DUMP, since
-Emacs is not set up to decide at run time whether there is dumping or
-not, and doing so correctly would be a lot of work.
-
-Note that much of the other information, such as the name and format 
-of the dumped data file, has been changed.
-
-
-                --rms
-
-
-
-        A different approach has been taken to implement the
-"dump/load" feature of GNU Emacs for AIX 3.1.  Traditionally the
-unexec function creates a new a.out executable file which contains
-preloaded Lisp code.  Executing the new a.out file (normally called
-xemacs) provides rapid startup since the standard suite of Lisp code
-is preloaded as part of the executable file.
-
-        AIX 3.1 architecture precludes the use of this technique
-because the dynamic loader cannot guarantee a fixed starting location
-for the process data section.  The loader loads all shared library
-data BEFORE process data.  When a shared library changes its data
-space, the process initial data section address (_data) will change
-and all global process variables are automatically relocated to new
-addresses.  This invalidates the "dumped" Emacs executable which has
-data addresses which are not relocatable and now corrupt.  Emacs would
-fail to execute until rebuilt with the new libraries.
-
-        To circumvent the dynamic loader feature of AIX 3.1, the dump process
-has been modified as follows:
-
-        1) A new executable file is NOT created.  Instead, both pure and
-           impure data are saved by the dump function and automatically
-           reloaded during process initialization.  If any of the saved data
-           is unavailable or invalid, loadup.el will be automatically loaded.
-
-        2) Pure data is defined as a shared memory segment and attached
-           automatically as read-only data during initialization.  This
-           allows the pure data to be a shared resource among all Emacs
-           processes.  The shared memory segment size is PURESIZE bytes.
-           If the shared memory segment is unavailable or invalid, a new
-           shared memory segment is created and the impure data save file
-           is destroyed, forcing loadup.el to be reloaded.
-
-        3) The ipc key used to create and access Emacs shared memory is
-           SHMKEY and can be overridden by the environment symbol EMACSSHMKEY.
-           Only one ipc key is allowed per system.  The environment symbol
-           is provided in case the default ipc key has already been used.
-
-        4) Impure data is written to the ../bin/.emacs.data file by the
-           dump function.  This file contains the process' impure data
-           at the moment of load completion.  During Emacs initialization,
-           the process' data section is expanded and overwritten
-           with the .emacs.data file contents.
-
-        The following are software notes concerning the GNU Emacs dump function under AIX 3.1:
-
-        1) All of the new dump/load code is activated by the #ifdef SHMKEY
-           conditional.
-
-        2) The automatic loading of loadup.el does NOT cause the dump function
-           to be performed.  Therefore once the pure/impure data is discarded,
-           someone must remake Emacs to create the saved data files.  This
-           should only be necessary when Emacs is first installed or whenever
-           AIX is upgraded.
-
-        3) Emacs will exit with an error if executed in a non-X environment
-           and the dump function was performed within a X window.  Therefore
-           the dump function should always be performed in a non-X
-           environment unless the X environment will ALWAYS be available.
-
-        4) Emacs only maintains the lower 24 bits of any data address.  The
-           remaining upper 8 bits are reset by the XPNTR macro whenever any
-           Lisp object is referenced.  This poses a serious problem because
-           pure data is stored in segment 3 (shared memory) and impure data
-           is stored in segment 2 (data).  To reset the upper 8 address bits
-           correctly, XPNTR must guess as to which type of data is represented
-           by the lower 24 address bits.  The technique chosen is based upon
-           the fact that pure data offsets in segment 3 range from
-           0 -> PURESIZE-1, which are relatively small offsets.  Impure data
-           offsets in segment 2 are relatively large (> 0x40000) because they
-           must follow all shared library data.  Therefore XPNTR adds segment
-           3 to each data offset which is small (below PURESIZE) and adds
-           segment 2 to all other offsets.  This algorithm will remain valid
-           as long as a) pure data size remains relatively small and b) process
-           data is loaded after shared library data.
-
-           To eliminate this guessing game, Emacs must preserve the 32-bit
-           address and add additional data object overhead for the object type
-           and garbage collection mark bit.
-
-        5) The data section written to .emacs.data is divided into three
-           areas as shown below.  The file header contains four character
-           pointers which are used during automatic data loading.  The file's
-           contents will only be used if the first three addresses match
-           their counterparts in the current process.  The fourth address is
-           the new data segment address required to hold all of the preloaded
-           data.

-
-
-           Sections two and three contain the preloaded data which is
-           restored at locations _data and initial sbrk(0) respectively.
-
-           The reason two separate sections are needed is that process
-           initialization allocates data (via malloc) prior to main()
-           being called.  Therefore _end is several kbytes lower than
-           the address returned by an initial sbrk(0).  This creates a
-           hole in the process data space and malloc will abort if this
-           region is overwritten during the load function.
-
-           One further complication with the malloc'd space is that it
-           is partially empty and must be "consumed" so that data space
-           malloc'd in the future is not assigned to this region.  The malloc
-           function distributed with Emacs anticipates this problem but the
-           AIX 3.1 version does not.  Therefore, repeated malloc calls are
-           needed to exhaust this initial malloc space.  How do you know
-           when malloc has exhausted its free memory?  You don't!  So the
-           code must repeatedly call malloc for each buffer size and
-           detect when a new memory page has been allocated.  Once the new
-           memory page is allocated, you can calculate the number of free
-           buffers in that page and request exactly that many more.  Future
-           malloc requests will now be added at the top of a new memory page.
-
-           One final point - the initial sbrk(0) is the value of sbrk(0)
-           after all of the above malloc hacking has been performed.
-
-
-        The following Emacs dump/load issues need to be addressed:
-
-        1) Loadup.el exits with an error message because the xemacs and
-           emacs-xxx files are not created during the dump function.
-
-           Loadup.el should be changed to check for the new .emacs.data
-           file.
-
-        2) Dump will only support one .emacs.data file for the entire
-           system.  This precludes the ability to allow each user to
-           define his/her own "dumped" Emacs.
-
-           Add an environment symbol to override the default .emacs.data
-           path.
-
-        3) An error message "error in init file" is displayed out of
-           startup.el when the dumped Emacs is invoked by a non-root user.
-           Although all of the preloaded Lisp code is present, the important
-           purify-flag has not been set back to Qnil - precluding the
-           loading of any further Lisp code until the flag is manually
-           reset.
-
-           The problem appears to be an access violation which will go
-           away if the read-write access modes to all of the files are
-           changed to rw-.
-
-        4) In general, all file access modes should be changed from
-           rw-r--r-- to rw-rw-rw-.  They are currently setup to match
-           standard AIX access modes.
-
-        5) The dump function is not invoked when the automatic load of
-           loadup.el is performed.
-
-           Perhaps the command arguments array should be expanded with
-           "dump" added to force an automatic dump.
-
-        6) The automatic initialization function alloc_shm will delete
-           the shared memory segment and .emacs.data file if the "dump"
-           command argument is found in ANY argument position.  The
-           dump function will only take place in loadup.el if "dump"
-           is the third or fourth command argument.
-
-           Change alloc_shm to live by loadup.el rules.

-* Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org.
-
-* No Warranties
-
-We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
-any warranty.  No author or distributor of this software accepts
-responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
-whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
-says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the commercial

-
-* Updates
-
-A possibly more up-to-date list of GNU FTP sites is at
-        http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
-
-* How to FTP
-
-Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)
-to connect to the host you are ftping from.  Unless indicated
-otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail
-address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each
-byte).
-
-ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!
-Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.
-
-* GNU Software and How To FTP It
-
-GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu.
-diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these
-programs.  Some programs have misc support files as well.  Have a look
-on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones.  In most cases, the tar or diff
-files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with
-the .gz suffix.
-
-Descriptions of GNU software are available at
-        http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
-
-* Alternative Internet FTP Sources
-
-Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked
-all sites inside your country, and then your continent.  Trans-ocean
-TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed.
-
-The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu.
-You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the
-mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site.

-* How to FTP GNU Emacs
-
-Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org.  The emacs
-distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where
-M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
-is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz.
-
-* Scheme and How to FTP It
-
-The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
-from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version
-number).
-
-Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
-
-* TeX and How to Obtain It
-
-We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
-
-TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
-for all its documentation.  You will need it if you want to make printed
-manuals.
-
-TeX is freely redistributable.  You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
-
-** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
-ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
-changes relatively frequently.  Sorry.)
-
-** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
-is included on the GNU source CD-ROM.  See the file ORDERS in this
-directory for more information.
-
-* VMS FTP sites with GNU Software
-You can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from:
-        - ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMS
-ports (and some VMS binaries) of GNU software
-        - mango.rsmas.miami.edu has a VMS version of the GCC/G++ compiler.
-Contact angel@flipper.miami.edu (angel li) for details.
-        - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs
-
-* Getting GNU software in Great Britain
-
-jpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
-available.  The smaller items are available from the info-server (send
-to info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk); the larger items by negotiation.  Due to
-communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
-
-BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (aka
-I.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNU
-sources he has.
-
-wizards@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources they have
-along with most other freely distributable software.  The SunSITE archive
-on SunSITE.doc.ic.ac.uk (193.63.255.4) is available via ftp, http, fsp,
-gopher, NFS and Lanmanger over IP (SMB), and telnet.
-
-UK sites with just anonymous FTP access are in the above list.
-
-* Getting GNU software via UUCP
-
-OSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme,
-Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of the
-Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al..  See their periodic
-postings on the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.d for informational
-updates.  Current details from <staff@cis.ohio-state.edu> or
-<...!osu-cis!staff>.
-
-Information on how to uucp some GNU programs is available via
-electronic mail from: uunet!hutch!barber, hqda-ai!merlin, acornrc!bob,
-hao!scicom!qetzal!upba!ugn!nepa!denny, ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!dan,

-NOTE: the Free Software Foundation agreed to put this file, and the
-programs it describes, into the Emacs distribution ONLY on the
-condition that we would not lift a finger to maintain them!  We are
-willing to *pass along* support for Sun windows, but we are not
-willing to let it distract us from what we are trying to do.  If you
-have complaints or suggestions about Sun windows support, send them to
-peck@sun.com, who is the maintainer.
-
-
-The interface between GNU Emacs and Sun windows consists of the program
-etc/emacstool, the Lisp programs lisp/sun-*.el and lisp/term/sun.el,
-and the C source file src/sunfns.c.  It is documented with a man page,
-etc/emacstool.1.
-
-To enable use of these files and programs, define the configuration
-switch HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS in src/config.h before compiling Emacs.
-The definition of HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS must precede the #include m-sun3.h
-or #include m-sun4.h.
-If you must change PURESIZE, do so after the #include m-sun3.h
-
-This software is based on SunView for Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.2,
-and will not work "as is" on previous releases, eg 3.0 or 3.1.
-
-Using Emacstool with GNU Emacs:
-
-   The GNU Emacs files lisp/term/sun.el, lisp/sun-mouse.el,
-lisp/sun-fns.el, and src/sunfns.c provide emacs support for the
-Emacstool and function keys.  If your terminal type is SUN (that is,
-if your environment variable TERM is set to SUN), then Emacs will
-automatically load the file lisp/term/sun.el.  This, in turn, will
-ensure that sun-mouse.el is autoloaded when any mouse events are
-detected.  It is suggested that sun-mouse and sun-fns be
-included in your site-init.el file, so that they will always be loaded
-when running on a Sun workstation.  [Increase PURESIZE to 154000].
-
-   Support for the Sun function keys requires disconnecting the standard
-Emacs command Meta-[.  Therefore, the function keys are supported only
-if you do (setq sun-esc-bracket t) in your .emacs file.
-
-   The file src/sunfns.c defines several useful functions for emacs on
-the Sun.  Among these are procedures to pop-up SunView menus, put and
-get from the SunView selection [STUFF] buffer, and a procedure for
-changing the cursor icon.  If you want to define cursor icons, try
-using the functions in lisp/sun-cursors.el.
-
-   The file lisp/sun-mouse.el includes a mass of software for defining
-bindings for mouse events.  Any function can be called or any form
-evaluated as a result of a mouse event.  If you want a pop-up menu,
-your function can call sun-menu-evaluate.  This will bring up a
-SunView walking menu of your choice.
-
-   Use the macro (defmenu menu-name &rest menu-items) to define menu
-objects.  Each menu item is a cons of ("string" . VALUE), VALUE is
-evaluated when the string item is picked.  If VALUE is a menu, then a
-pullright item is created.  
-
-   This version also includes support for copying to and from the
-sun-windows "stuff" selection.  The keyboard bindings defined in 
-lisp/sun-fns.el let you move the current region to the "STUFF"
-selection and vice versa.  Just set point with the left button, set
-mark with the middle button, (the region is automatically copied to
-"STUFF") then switch to a shelltool, and "Stuff" will work.  Going the
-other way, the main right button menu contains a "Stuff Selection"
-command that works just like in shelltool.  [The Get and Put function
-keys are also assigned to these functions, so you don't need the mouse
-or even emacstool to make this work.]
-
-   Until someone write code to read the textsw "Selection Shelf", it is
-not possible to copy directly from a textsw to emacs, you must go through
-the textsw "STUFF" selection.
-
-   The Scroll-bar region is not a SunView scrollbar.  It really should
-be called the "Right-Margin" region.  The scroll bar region is basically
-the rightmost five columns (see documentation on variable scrollbar-width).
-Mouse hits in this region can have special bindings, currently those binding
-effect scrolling of the window, and so are referred to as the "Scroll-bar"
-region.
-
-   For information on what mouse bindings are in effect, use the command
-M-x Describe-mouse-bindings, or the quick pop-up menu item "Mouse-Help".
-
-
-GNU Emacs EXAMPLES:
-   See definitions in lisp/sun-fns.el for examples.
-
-   You can redefine the cursor that is displayed in the emacs window.
-On initialization, it is set to a right arrow.  See lisp/sun-cursors.el
-for additional cursors, how to define them, how to edit them.
-
-BUGS:
-    It takes a few milliseconds to create a menu before it pops up.
-Someone who understands the GNU Garbage Collector might see if it
-is possible for defmenu to create a SunView menu struct that does
-not get destroyed by Garbage Collection.

-
-src/sunfns.c:
-    This contains the auxiliary functions that allow elisp code to interact
-with the sunwindows, selection, and menu functions.
-
-lisp/sun-mouse.el:
-    Defines the lisp function which is called when a mouse hit is found
-in the input queue.  This handler decodes the mouse hit via a keymap-like
-structure sensitive to a particular window and where in the window the
-hit occurred (text-region, right-margin, mode-line).  Three variables
-are bound (*mouse-window* *mouse-x* *mouse-y*) and the selected function
-is called. 
-    See documentation on "define-mouse" or look at lisp/sun-fns.el
-to see how this is done.
-    Defines two functions to pass between region and sun-selection

-    The definition of the default menu and mouse function bindings.
-
-lisp/sun-cursors.el

-
-lisp/term/sun.el
-    Sets up the keymap to make the sun function keys do useful things.
-Also includes the setup/initialization code for running under emacstool,

-Those of you using GNU Emacs on Sun workstations under
-3.2 may be interested in reducing memory utilization in
-the emacstool via the Sun toolmerge facility.  The technique
-is described in the Release 3.2 Manual starting on page
-71.  The following is a summary of how it would apply
-to merging emacstool into the basetools.
-
-1) Change the main procedure declaration in emacstool.c to:
-
-   #ifdef SUN_TOOLMERGE
-   emacstool_main (argc, argv);
-   #else
-   main (argc, argv)
-   #endif
-
-   This will allow creation of either standard or toolmerge
-   versions.
-
-2) Copy emacstool.o into directory /usr/src/sun/suntool.
-3) make CFLAGS="-g -DSUN_TOOLMERGE" emacstool.o
-4) Add the following line to basetools.h
-
-  "emacstool",emacstool_main,
-
-5) Add the following line to toolmerge.c.
-
-   extern emacstool_main();
-
-6) make basetools MOREOBJS="emacstool.o"
-7) make install_bins
-
-To invoke the toolmerged version, you must exit suntools and
-re-start it.  Make sure that /usr/bin occurs before the directory
-in which you installed the standard (non-toolmerged) version.
