Is there anyway for us poor folks who doesn't have the AUX to run emacs? OR is AUX required to run emacs?

OR is AUX required to run emacs? I do not know of a Full version of Emacs on the Mac. Microemacs is available, I think it is archived at SUMEX. I think that Emacs hasnt been ported due to the size of the program (>1 mb.) and the simple ports use the built in terminal emulator in the machine. It seems that the communications toolbox may just provide that terminal emulator that eases the porting. Does anyone want to try it? :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Interrante Software Engineering Research Center mfi@beach.cis.ufl.edu CIS Department, University of Florida 32611 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Imagine what it would be like if TV actually were good.

If you want the best available Emacs clone for the Mac, get JOVE. I find it has most of the essential functionality of mainframe Emacs, but it does lack a macro extension language. On the other hand, it is better integrated into Mac environment than is MicroEMACS as things stand now. One might think of JOVE as a mainframe Emacs configured to suit someone's personal tastes, hence its name: Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs. If you can't find a source, I will be glad to point you to one. (It's on SIMTEL20.)
