Dear Wolfgang, I just tried installing XEmacs-21.4.21, but Oz again failed to run, this time returning a slightly different error message in XEmacs:
>Process Oz Emulator trace trap It's strange that both ozc and ozengine will run, but that Oz will fail to run on both GNU Emacs 22.3.1 and XEmacs 21.4.21. It seems that my only remaining option is to try using Mozart/Oz 1.3.2. Any other suggestions? -- Benjamin L. Russell On Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:56:24 +0900, Benjamin L.
