I have put some work in the Jove-Emacs editor from the Berk.2.9
distribution tape. It is now a real nice (small!) screen editor. We did not
get real respons problems running 4 emacs sessions on an 11/23 under
2.9bsd. It will compile for USG, 4BSD and 2BSD.
On our 68010 running 4.2 we have the following sizes:
text data bss dec hex
77824 8192 94748 180764 2c21c /usr/local/emacs
122880 4096 127036 254012 3e03c /usr/ucb/vi
Some of us use it daily with no real problems.
Among the extensions are: Use of Vt100 Keypath, a few new set commands
like search-end-begin which stands for:
Stop forward-word, delete-next-word, yank in front
of the next word instead of at the end of the previous word.
Also correct working of Xon/Xoff.
I like to have comment on the following:
1. Is it allowed to send this as public domain in net.sources?
The original author is Jonathan Payne (where are you?)
2. Is there enough interest in this product?

YES! I'd be very interested in your version of jove/emacs. We run it here on our 2.9BSD PDP 11/44 system quite heavily, and I'd love to see the changes you've made to it. -- Louis A.

Has anybody got a small Emacs that will compile and run on a PDP-11 without split I/D? It should be possible, but Jove is too big and GNUEmacs is obv. out of the question. For people who don't remember the PDP-11, see if you have something that will run in small-model on an IBM-PC. That's a bit of overkill, since you need more bytes to do something on the 8086 than on the 11, but it's a good first approximation.

I have heard of an IBM-PC editor called Epsilon that is modeled on Emacs. No, I don't know what the acronym stands for. I don't know how much memory it takes. I do know that its only extension ability is to bind keys to be sequences of other keys (i.e., keyboard macros). I will try to find out more for you if you're interested, or maybe you're familiar with it already. /jr
