Hello, I am a newcomer. Could anybody tell me if there is anything like SUMEX for the ibmpc, where I can download PD softwares? I heard that there is a command interpreter for DOS called CED, and that there is a MicroEmacs available for both PC and MAC. Could anybody tell me where to get them? Is it to much to ask for the source code also, since I would like to configure MicroEmacs as I have configured GNU Emacs; and I am thinking of writing a command interpreter that can handle alias and history and old commands editing like a c-shell, but which also saves commands on a stack so that it will act like a VAX/VMS command interpreter. Issomething like that already in existence? If you can help me, please either send mail to jamin@bartleby or put up your answerS here. Thank's. Sugih Jamin

CED is also the public domain version of PCED, a commercial program. Save yourself the trouble of re-inventing the wheel and get CED or PCED. MicroEmacs is a *VERY* scaled-down version of [GNU] Emacs. It does not have a LISP macro language in which to write new and bizarre editing functions -- almost everything is hard-coded into MicroEmacs. Still, considering the price (free) and the functions that it does support, MicroEmacs is quite good. How to get these programs: 1. There are a few good BBSes in the Bay area that have CED. You could call them up and download it (the file is usually called CED10D.ARC). You need a program called ARC to un-archive files with a .ARC extension. Send email if you would like the phone numbers. These BBSes are usually *VERY* busy and so you may have to call at 3:30AM in the morning to get through (and even then you might not). NOTE: I can't send email to you, as I can't find a UUCP path to bartleby (I assume it's at Berzerkely). If you want me to send email *back* to you, I need a UUCP path. 2. If you have a way to transfer BINARY files from UNIX to MSDOS, I could email you the uuencoded version of CED and MicroEmacs (and ARC, if you don't have it). WARNING: the sources to MicroEmacs is around 710K. 3. (If all else fails) Send two 360K disks or one 1.2Meg disk and a self-addressed stamped disk mailer to me, and I'll copy the programs and mail them back to you. NOTE: I can't send email to you, as I can't find a UUCP path to bartleby (I assume it's at Berzerkely). If you want me to send email *back* to you, I need a UUCP path. -- Darryl Okahata ucbvax!ucbcad!ames!hplabs!hpcea!hpsrla!darrylo <== best path hplabs!hpcea!hpsrla!darrylo <== alternative CompuServe: 75206,3074 Disclaimer: the above is the author's personal opinion and is not the opinion or policy of his employer or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

MicroEmacs (I have version 3.8b) does indeed have a macro language, and is fairly extensible. I highly recommend it. Tom Blakely DCA Inc. {akgua, gatech, sun!sunatl}!dcatla!ittfb
