I have been looking (for about a month) for a public domain
full screen editor for the ST. I have tried both local
ST groups, and calling BBSs in different parts of the country.
Can anybody (especially the Atari-guy) point me in the right
direction, or is it to early yet for anyone to have designed
a public domain editor? (Something akin to PC-WRITE for the
IBMs would be great...)
Thanks in advance...

Has anybody tried porting GNU Emacs to the ST? It ought to run fine in a meg machine, unless the C compiler and environment are too far off from Unix. (Of course, you'd need a hard disk to compile it, since the source is about 8 megs -- and even the executable image might not fit on a floppy.). -- John Gilmore {sun,ptsfa,lll-crg,ihnp4}!hoptoad!gnu jgilmore@lll-crg.arpa

RE: > I have been looking (for about a month) for a public domain > full screen editor for the ST. >>Has anybody tried porting GNU Emacs to the ST? There is a program called Micro Emacs that has been ported to the Amiga. I believe it originally ran on the IBM. It may not be too hard to move it to the Atari. I think the binary is about 40KB on the Amiga and it does NOT require a hard disk to compile. There is no Mlisp. Changing key definitions requires recompiling one of the routines. Also, someone recently posted a VI like editor to net.sources. (or was it mod.sources?) ---- harold ravlin {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!uicsl!hr

Micro-Emacs is available (and has been for quite some time) on the ST. It comes with the ST Developer's Kit. -Landon -------

Various important sizes: Sun 2 executable >600K (stripped, optimizer off, 470K of that is C, the rest is Lisp and data) Peripheral stuff >3.8M (could probably be cut to about 1.5M) One person here has ported it to his AT&T Unix PC. I still don't know how he shoehorned it onto that 10M disk, but he did it. The things that make you want to put it on your favorite box are that 1) it is the best Emacs around, 2) it is currently being actively supported and enhanced by some good people, 3) it is being ported to lots of different environments (I am aware of attempts to move it to IBM/370 Unix, the Cray-2, VAX/VMS, and a wide variety of System V and 4bsd boxes, and 4) it's free. When large enough hard disks become available (20 to 40M) for the ST, it will probably make sense to port it to the ST. ========== Skip Montanaro ARPA: montanaro@ge-crd.arpa US Mail: General Electric Company Corporate Research and Development P.O.

I much prefer '1st Word' the word processor distributed in lieu of Gemwrite. ray herman @ glasgow *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
