compile.el equivalent for freemacs or uemacs

Does anyone have the equivalent of a NEXT-ERROR function for FREEMACS
(a gnuemacs work-alike for IBM compatibles) or even microemacs 3.xx?
I would settle for the next-error function without the compile
function, since I can invoke the editor on the program text and error
listing files from my compiler.

For those not familiar with gnuemacs "compile.el", the next-error
extended command brings up a compiler error listing in one window with
the first error at the top of the window.  In the other window, it
brings up the offending source code file and positions the cursor on
the line containing the error.  Subsequent invocations step through
the errors, moving to the appropriate source file and line.  My local
hack even puts the cursor on the first character of the of the
erroneous symbol in the source file (when the compiler includes
character number and line number in the error list.  My ada compiler
does, my C-compiler doesn't ;-)

The compile function spawns an asynchronous compilation with output
directed to the error buffer. (too much to ask for in a single
threaded PeeCee)

BTW, freemacs is the best gnu work-alike I've found for the PC.  I use
MG2a at home on my amiga and I have uemacs 3.10, but freemacs is
better.  If it only had infinite undo's...
