[comp.sys.atari.st] ST MicroEmacs Site Needed

Bill_von_Hagen@TRANSARC.COM (11/02/90)

I'm sure no one responded because everyone assumed someone else had.
I am still looking for archive sites with versions of uEmacs for the
ST, with the documentation, greater than version 3.7*.

Could someone please point me to an internet archive site with uEmacs
3.8* or 3.9* on it - even source?  Worst case, how about a BBS in the
eastern US??

Thanks Again!  Please RSVP!!!!

I just sent emacs39.lzh (actually it's 3.925, but who's counting :^) 
to atari.archive.

Another version of micro-emacs, 3.10, is available by anonymous ftp on
irisa.irisa.fr [131.254.2.3], cd Atari_st/emacs_big.
It is a version of me3.10 adaptated by
STSTEFFENS@VKPMZA.Physik.Uni-Mainz.de. Uses Gem file selector, mouse,.... 
Really fine.

Binaries and sources are available in this directory.

Version 3.10 is much better, I think, because it has named procedures
rather than just macro numbers.  You can do something like this:

store-procedure line2top
	1 redraw-display
!endm

macro-to-key line2top M-!
  
This would be line-to-top-of-window, except 3.10 as distributed doesn't
have long-enough buffer names for all that (and doesn't have length
checking on strcpy etc. :-( )

In addition, I think 3.10's search functions are LOTS faster, but that
could have been in 3.9: was searching in big files slow in 3.8 but fast
in 3.9?  If they're the same speed then 3.10 is a BIG improvement.
