I just thought I'd put in my two cent's worth on the subject of CCA vs.
UniPress...  Here at OSU, most of the users use CCA emacs; Not because
it has good docs., but because its like Twenex EMACS.  Most of the real
Unix hackers use Gosling's version because it's programmable and
handles unix a little bit better.  I myself started on CCA, but now use
Gosling's all the time.  I have heard it said that people who want to
start on emacs use CCA but those who want to get work done use
Gosling's version.  I must agree, mostly because CCA emacs is very much
like the Twenex version, and I don't like Twenex EMACS.  I might use
CCA instead if it were programmable and more powerful (ex: more than
two windows), and I would like Gosling's version much better if it had
real documentation.

I could rant and rave for hours, but...
