Is the Micro-Emacs you're talking about the same one as the version
out in DL9, or is it a different one?? GNU Emacs is supposedly superior to
the Gosling version, but I wouldn't know. All I've got is the source, but I
can't run it yet as our VAX runs on VMS, and GNU is for a unix-type OS. As
far as I know GNU-Emacs is PD, and can be distibuted freely. The only
problem is how do I get you a copy. Source is pretty big, and it's on the
VAX. As soon as I get my Amiga (still waiting for CBM to deliver) I plan to
download the source to the Amiga, but till then I have no way of handling it.
If you've got any ideas, let me know. Happy New Year! – Steve – P.S. Send me
