Why was testing only the low 7 bits good news to you? I would think it was
bad news. Excuse my ignorance but are you saying that this btst thing is
with the 68000 itself, amiga or lattice C?
I've used the symbolic debugger on the wicat and put $80000000 in a memory
location and done a btst $1f,loc and gotten indication that the 31'st bit was
set, so what gives?
But I do know that lattice would compile something like x & 0x80000000 as a
btst 7,x which is testing the wrong bit for sure. It would be better if
lattice would just do an AND if they are going to generate improper code this
way.
Oh, I realized I forgot to answer you question about the binary files on the
Gnu Emacs tape. As far as I know they are unix core images for the
"compiled" lisp routines in gnu emacs and you can safely ignore them, since
you can read in the text for the lisp routines to emacs and compile them
whenever you want. Bye
