Does anyone know if gnu-emacs is available for AmigaDos? Please note, that is *gnu-emacs*. I have 42 bazillion micro-wimpy-emacses, but I'd like the real thing, complete with lisp libraries. I think an Amiga with a few meg could handle it. The executable stripped of all the X11 garbage should be but a few hundred K, and the port itself shouldn't be too bad one you take care of the screen handling functions. Please respond via email; I will summarize if the answer is "yes". - steve

Just like to add my voice to the hordes crying out for someone to port real gnu-emacs to the Amiga. I've heard it's been done on the ST, and there must be plenty of 5-meg+ Amigas our there these days which would be up to the task of building it. I'd also like to see gcc and especially g++, since there may be some wait before Lattice gets a C++ 2.0 compiler on the market. And how about gawk? Jim (who will tackle these things himself if God signs of on his request to extend the day to 36 hours).
