On the chance of catching you with this before it scrolls… The EMACS
I used I believe originated with the same or a very similar PD MicroEMACS as on
DL9 here. Andy Finkle, all around software genius here in our software group
did the port to AmigaDOS. This includes pull-down menus and more standard
EMACS commands (similar to Goseling). I haven't actually used the DL9 EMACS,
but everyone says its not as good as Andy's. Still, its not like a full-blown
version — no M-LISP, no Electric-C. But when you get your Amiga (and I get
one at home) maybe you'd be able to DL it — I'd be interested in playing
around with a better EMACS implementation. No big rush — I've got many old C
sources awaiting my Amiga to run them they way they were intended to run (i.e.
NOT on a C128).
