MicroEMACS does indeed contain a reasonably complete programming language. I just finished writting a 2500 line mail reader for our internal mail system. By any definition, this could really only be done from within a programming language. >I'm a right-to-lifer -- everyone has a right to earn a living sufficient to >feed himself and his family. agreed. If you use Freemacs, or MicroEMACS, or any shareware program that you appreciate, please register it.
