Recently someone posted an article summarizing the commands of a pubilc
domain version of micro emacs for the ST. Where was the binary and or
source for micro emacs posted? I would dearly like a copy if some poor
soul could email me one or give me pointers on how to obtain a copy.
I also be willing to mail a disk and money to cover postage and handling.
(or is this the micro emacs that comes with the development system? and is
in PD). Thanks for your replies.
I am working on a copy of a pretty printer for Modula 2 (converts
source files into a "more readable" form) that i will post if there is
interest.
By the way, thanks for all who responded with my request for xlisp.
I received two copies, and have proceeded to distribute xlisp to various
ST fans here in Vancouver.

Could anyone tell me where I can FTP the new MicroEmacs and the documentation? Thanks, Jack Bicer Bicer.ES@Xerox.COM

The most recent DEC redistribution, as modified at Caltech for blinding
update speed under NANSI.SYS or FANSI, as well as the most recent Daniel
Lawrence redistribution (3.6), are available for remote FTP as follows:
machine: tybalt.caltech.edu
account: anonymous
for DEC version, cd to pub/uemacs36c, mget *.*
for Lawrence version, cd to pub/uemacs36d, mget * (I meant * above, too)

p.s. Lawrence MicroEmacs 3.6 has an impressive list of features, but
is amusingly slow at handling input when compiled under Large model

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there could send me microemacs. The version I got from the net a few months ago is chopped. Thanks, Phil Paone

I almost dare say that my enhanced version of microEMACS is
done. It includes built-in help, complementing-brace search,
paragraph reformatting, and many smaller improvments.
The Atari ST version makes extensive use of the function keys,
both labelled (e.g. Help, Undo) and not (F1-F10). Access to
the alternate character set (MSB set) has been added, too.
If you send me a (3.5", single-sided, Atari ST formatted)
disk in an appropriate SASE I will return it with both the source
code (in C, about 175K) and the executable version (compiled with
Megamax, about 43K). The source can be compiled on UN*X, CP/M,
MSDOS and VMS, too.
The Proff formatter is a nice companion to microEMACS, if you
don't insist on wysiwyg. (Proff is a dot-command sort of thing,
complete with variables and macros. If you want wysiwyg I don't
see what's wrong with 1st Word. Most printers won't print fancy
fonts except as ugly dot-matrix graphics. And I think
shadow-outline is illegible... Anyway, you don't have macros
with parameters to save you typing in wysiwyg editors. And the
Proff text can be sent over to a UN*X system and itroff-ed to a
laser printer.) I finally compiled Proff (the source is public),
after adding some pointer and register stuff for speed and
smaller size. The resulting 37K file formats proffman.prf (some
32 pages of output) in 25 seconds (reading from and writing to
a ram disk, of course). If you want it too, say so.

Another reminder: If you send me an (Atari ST single sided
formatted 3.5") disk I'll send you the C source and
executable form of my enhanced version of microEMACS. Proff
is included as a bonus. (To our European friends: send a
check instead, if you like, but in US dollars.)
This version of microEMACS is NOT related to the 3.5, 3.6
versions. It makes extensive use of the Atari ST function
keys, but also keeps the old-style control-key command
invocations. You CAN switch between insert and overstrike
modes, and between case-sensitive and case-blind search, but
the command interface of microEMACS is modeless and
mouseless, which some people love and some hate. Some of the
features added: built-in help, search for complementing
bracket, reformat paragraph, goto line number, default file
or buffer names in some commands, etc.
By the way: my Avatex 1200 modem malfunctioned, but I sent
it for repairs under warranty and they sent me a new one
instead. It took 3 weeks, mostly for shipping it back and
forth.
