tpu-keys

[Anja Schroeder]

Dear Sir, dear Madam,

I have emacs version 24.5.1 installed on ubuntu. It seems that I cannot 
use the tpu emulator anymore? I use it as "emacs -f tpu-edt". Though once 
emacs has opend its window it says "tpu-emulation-on", the numeric keypad 
does not work with the programmed key bindings (I tried both 'Num lock' on 
and off - the result is the same). I know that with 24.3.1 it was still 
working.

 	Can you let me know how to recover the emulator?

 	Regards, Anja Schroeder

It's in the obsolete subdirectory.

Dear Eli,

Thank you for your quick reply. I found the emulator and copied the files 
(tpu-edt.elc, tpu-extras.elc, tpu-mapper.elc) into the emulation 
directory. However, it does not seem to work. I use

emacs -f tpu-edt <filename>

but (a) it does not load the file (it only opens *scratch*, it also says 
that tpu-emulation is on), and (b) if I load a file from the just opened 
emacs gui, the tpu-mapper does not work.

I rebooted the machine after moving the tpu* files, but that does not 
help. Do I need to activate the emulator in some way?

 	Cheers, Anja

You need to load the package manually, something like

  emacs -l tpu-edt -f tpu-edt <filename>

That's because obsolete packages don't get automatically loaded when
their functions are invoked.

Great, thanks!
