[comp.sys.mac] MicroEMACS

masticol@clash.rutgers.edu (Steve Masticola) (03/30/88)

Does anyone out there have the current version of microEMACS? I've got
version 0.6, and it has some noticeable bugs. However, it's incredibly
useful for handling zillion-kilobyte text-only files that MacWrite
would take hours to translate (and still get wrong.) If you have
MicroEMACS >0.6, could you please mail it or post it to
comp.binaries.mac? Thanks!

I've also used Red Writer (aka MockWrite) - it's a good, Mac-standard
interface text-only editor, but it has problems with very large files.
(A 70KB list of bboards gagged it.)

The Rutgers MicroLab had two or three other PD/shareware editors, but
none survived the rigors of trying to start under System 4.1. :-(

If y'all know of a good text-only editor for the Mac other than the
ones I've mentioned, please let us know!

Does anyone have a copy of microEmacs more recent than version 0.6? I
found this in the MicroLab here, but it's got some noticeable bugs. I
do find it very useful, though, for editing long text-only files
(programs for other systems, lists, TeX source, etc.)

If you have a more recent MicroEMACS, could you post it it
comp.binaries.mac or mail it to me in BinHex 4.0 format?

I've also used RedWriter aka MockWrite, which is a good product but
has the drawback of limited file size. Three other mini-editors I
looked at didn't survive the shock of waking up under System 4.1. :-(
Does anyone use any other good text-only editors?

Sorry if this has appeared before, but postnews has been flaky here.
Thanks for your help!
