I have at least one complaint. It is HUGE. Sorry, but when my OS won't run it
because it only supports 1 meg processes, I start to wonder.

Also, I found several minor bugs trying to
get it up on a BIGendian machine running 4.2. Now it runs, but a lot of
commands don't work quite right -- example c-v scrolls to the next blank line,
or one line if there isn't one on the next page. Obscure! Unfortunately, at the
moment I don't have a symbolic debugger available, so finding the problem
will have to wait until I port one. I can't really blame the author, since he
only has one machine, but I think the technique used in unexec.c isn't very
portable, since it requires a process can read it's own user block.
