One thing that Zimmerman's emacs does very nicely that Gosling's does not (at least I haven't seen such a package) is handle "rectangular regions." In other words, columns. ^Y, ^W, m-y, etc, all have analogues (same commands prefixed by ^C) which operate on a rectangle defined by point and mark at its opposite corners. Occassionally this is VERY useful. If anyone has such a package for Gosling's I'd like to know. Zimmerman's also has a "picture mode" which is useful when kludging up pictures, of course. I expect it would be easy to whip up a picture mode for Gosling's-- certainly easier than handling rectangular regions. Anyone with either? Jay Lepreau, harpo!utah-cs!lepreau, lepreau@utah-cs

Does CCA Emacs have an interface to unix mail? The one we use in the Gosling emacs (pmail by name) is the heaviest consumer of emacs cycles here. How about news? Or, in general, "peek through" capability to unix routines of all kinds. /s/ Bill McKeeman, Wang Institute
