In message 4433@mit-eddie, Joaquim Martillo noted that file names in CCA EMACS are similar to file names in Warren Montgomery's EMACS, and that the general flavor of the code was the same. Versions of CCA EMACS up to and including version 162.35z had contained some portions of Warren Montgomery's EMACS version 4.0, which was developed by Mr. Montgomery at Bell Laboratories. Beginning with CCA EMACS version 162.36z, CCA EMACS no longer contained any of the code from Mr. Montgomery's EMACS, or any methods or concepts which would be known only by programmers familiar with BTL EMACS of any version. CCA has not shipped any versions of CCA EMACS earlier than version 162.36z since January, 1983. Moreover, in June of 1983, CCA offered to replace at its own expense existing earlier versions with one containing not a smidgeon of Mr. Montgomery's code. -- -- Joseph Chapman decvax!cca!emacs!joe CCA Uniworks, Inc. emacs!joe@cca-unix.ARPA 20 William St. Wellesley, MA 02181 (617) 235-2600
