A new version of EMACS has now been released by CCA. A number of important new features have been added since the last release, including word abbreviation mode, visible marks, and the ability to run shells inside buffers. Starting with this version, the following new distribution policy applies: A CCA EMACS licence is now available for $850 ($350 for educational institutions). The license is valid for a single CPU; quantity discounts are available. Those sites interested in purchasing a license should send me their name and address, and I will send them a pair of license forms to be filled out. Upon receipt of two completed forms plus the appropriate fee, CCA will execute the license and send one completed form to the applicant, along with a tape containing CCA EMACS, a complete manual, and command charts. Major updates of CCA EMACS are available to license holders for $300. Until March 15th, current users of CCA EMACS who do not hold licenses may also get the latest release for $300. After March 15th, the rates quoted in the previous paragraph apply to everyone. License forms may be obtained by contacting me through uucpnet at decvax!cca!z, or through the U.S. mail at the following address: Steven Zimmerman Computer Corporation of America Four Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02139 (617) 492-8860 The phone number listed is effective Monday, January 10th, 1983.
