Hi ho there. I have posted a copy of micro emacs to
net.sources.mac. I didn't want to, but my attempt to post to
mod.binaries.mac failed. (sigh) Anywho, I though that most of you
who sent me mail would be tired of waiting so here it is. Have
some fun folks.
Bye now!

I recently picked up a copy of microEMACS from the net. I have only used it for about a half hour quick test, but it seems to be very nice. The document that arrived with the program unpacked ok, but was truncated in the first paragraph of Section 14.3 -- Randomness. Is there any way to get the missing end? Is there anything of value there? Is there any documentation for some of the mac-specific features anywhere? Whenever I edit a largish file and then exit with C-X C-C I get a System error bomb, ID=02. Exits via the File menu appear to work, and exits when the amount of text being edited is less than a screenful also seem to work, even by the C-X C-C route. I am using microEMACS version 0.6. (And a 512K old mac, and Finder 1.1g) Is this editor reliable? I need to use something for a two week period in a remote location, and I am reluctant to rely on microEMACS given that I made it crash with such a common command. I also have WORD and MacWrite but all I want to do is edit text, and microEMACS seems like what I want.
