[net.emacs] What is emacs?

eric@unm-ivax.UUCP (08/16/83)

	I would like to get some information on what EMACs buys you
	compared to other editors, and which emacs people out in
	netland are running. (The free version, versions sold by
	other outfits, etc.)  Also what operating systems emacs
	runs on.  (I have heard it runs on VMS as well as UNIX).
	Is emacs terminal independent as vi is, and any other
	comments people may have on this subject.  My boss is
	looking into buying emacs from a company, and would like
	to know more about this product.

				Thanks
