Subject: What is *limits.h* and what to do next

        Hello everybody!

        This weekend I managed to get a Linux(0.95a) system running
on my home computer. And so far it looks very promising. But I have had
some problems:

1. The em (uemacs) editor is not 100% compatible with what
        I use at work. (CTRL X CTRL S whitch I use to save a file
        locks the display). And I do not have the help file so I
        can find out what keystrokes do what. What files should
        I get to fix this problem.

2. GCC when using the #include<stdio.h> statement in a C program
        the compiler complains that "limits.h" is not found. What is
        limits.h, why is it not included in the gcc(binary) tar file and
        where can I get this file (in what tar file)?
        (Or what should I put in it?)

3. The shell is quite primitive (I'm using 4dos in MS-dos). Are there
        anything better around?

4. Upgrading to new vertions of the system: As far as I know
        the latest vertion is 0.95c (I've got 0.95a). Is this an
        easy operation or do I have to start from scratch again?

5. Man pages. Are there any around? How much HD space do I need
        to run such a thing? (I've only got about 40 MB for Linux)

6. I guess I'll post more questions soon, but this is it for now! ;-)
