Has anyone tried or succeeded in porting GNU's Emacs over to the PC? If not, is there an adequate (or better) PC Emacs clone? I'm looking for a fantastic editor to standardize all my stuff on, and like GNU Emacs a lot....

Try JOVE. I'm not sure where to get it but I'm sure someone on the net does.

Has anyone tried or succeeded in porting GNU's Emacs over to the PC? If not, is there an adequate (or better) PC Emacs clone? I'm looking for a fantastic editor to standardize all my stuff on, and like GNU Emacs a lot.... Take a look at Freemacs. It's the only PC editor that is programmable AND tries to be compatible with GNU emacs. Howtoget.doc follows: You may freely copy this software. I only ask that you send improvements back to me for incorporation into the package for the rest of us. The distribution is available from one or more of the following sources: EMACS15D ARC The executables and MINT code. EMACS100 ARC Zenith Z-100 version. Requires EMACS15D. EMACSPEL ARC Spelling checker. EMACSEGA ARC A collection of EGA utilities EMAC15DS ARC The .ASM source. WFM BBS: (315)265-8207 - 1200/2400 8N1, 24 hrs. File Area 4. No registration required to download Freemacs. CUHUG BBS: (315)268-6667 - 1200/2400 8N1, 24 hrs. File area 25. No registration required to download Freemacs. Internet: Anonymous ftp to simtel20.army.mil from PD:<MSDOS.FREEMACS> Internet: anonymous FTP to grape.ecs.clarkson.edu [128.153.13.196] from /e/files/freemacs Bitnet && UUCP: Send mail to archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu. You may use archive-server%sun.soe.clarkson.edu@omnigate if you are on Bitnet, or uunet!sun.soe.clarkson.edu!archive-server if you are using UUCP. The mail message should consist of 'help' if you want to learn how to use the archive server, or else if you just want to get Freemacs, then send the following lines: send freemacs emacs15d.aa send freemacs emacs15d.ab send freemacs emacs15d.ac send freemacs emacs15d.ad send freemacs emacs15d.ae The files that you will get back should be concatenated together, run through uudecode, and thence through an unARCer such as arc or pkxarc. I would like to see it on GEnie and Compu$erve, but they are a toll call for me. Or else send $15 (copying fee) to the author. This will assure you of the latest version.

Epsilon version 4.0 *DOES* have an undo command, as well as a "redo" command that lets you undo the undo command. This version can also take advantage of EMS memory, and includes support for tags in C and assembly language programs. Steve Jacobs ({ihnp4,decvax}!utah-cs!jacobs, jacobs@cs.utah.edu)

Cured in the just released 4.0 version...has an undo with a selectable buffer size (500,000 byte default), effectively unlimited number of backward steps (undo executed 5 times undoes last 5 actions), and a redo (oops, I only wanted to go back 4 steps, undo my last undo). It also has one powerful process window feature, and you thought multi processing was for non-DOS machines ;-) -- ----------------- Peter Palij uunet!apexepa!peter Apex Software Corporation peter@apexepa.uucp Phone: (412) 681-4343
