Undo 2004-02-16 and 2004-02-17 changes. The following changes are relative to the 2004-01-21 revision. (NREAD_INPUT_EVENTS): Define as max number of input events to read in one call to read_socket_hook. Value is 8. (read_avail_input): Separate and rework handling of read_socket_hook and non-read_socket_hook cases. Use smaller input_event buffer in read_socket_hook case, and repeat if full buffer is read. Use new local variable 'discard' to skip input after C-g. In non-read_socket_hook case, just use a single input_event, and call kbd_buffer_store_event on the fly for each character.

GNU Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <[e-mail]> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures.  For more information see

[Update 2003-11-24: I am working on integrating VMS-specific bits
 back into the repository.  There are some work-in-progress files
 in this directory as a result.  Do not be alarmed!  --ttn]
