 These are some fixes that I've done to GNU emacs 18.50. They are for those
 unfortunate few (like me) that are forced to work in the VMS environment.
 These fixes were tested under VMS 4.5 so I don't know how well they work 
 under higher version numbers (or lower version numbers for that matter).

 Luckily I get to work in Unix now and then so I can keep a (shakey) grip 
 on my sanity ;-).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 This patch was to allow dired to compile.

  	  dp = readdir (d);

  	  int len;
  
  #ifdef VMS
! 	  dp = (*readfunc) (d);
  #else
  	  dp = readdir (d);
  #endif


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 the next two patches are because the run time library function 'access()'
 wants a full file specification and not just a directory specification.
 You could do logical name translation on each string and resolve it down
 to a full file specification, then parse out the last directory spec and
 create the file specification for each directory, then do an access on that.
 I just punted.

 This final patch is if you want to be able to pass a file name to an already
 running emacs. In addition to patching kepteditor.com you must add the 
 following to your .emacs (or an equivelent function if you don't like my
 style ;-)

;;;
;;; check for a new file on suspend-resume
;;;
(defun check-for-file ()
  (let ((file (getenv "EMACSARG")))
    (and (stringp file)
	 (not (string-equal file ""))
	 (find-file file))))

(setq suspend-resume-hook 'check-for-file)
