- I am using Emacs 3.0, the emacs front end, on a stand-alone NeXTstation
- named "angus" running NeXTSTEP 3.0.
- When I started Emacs the first time, it produced the message ``Unknown
- host "angus"''. That seems to come from the call to open-network-stream in
- the lisp code. I patched that problem by changing the open-network-stream
- call to use the host name "localhost". Now Emacs produces the message
- ``The event handler has exited abnormally with code 256^J'' (sic) when it
- starts up. But Emacs does handle mouse and character events properly as
- far as I can see.
- Is there some graceful fix for either of these problems?
