Curiosity question: is there an ftp-able version of MicroGnuEmacs (MG) in executable form that runs on the IBM compatible PCs? I found one version on the "official" provider machine, utadnx.cc.texas.edu, but after it's downloaded it refuses to run, claiming the program is too big to fit in memory (just to be sure, I made sure everything else was "turned off" when I tried to run it).

The version Mr. Wolman refers to turned out to be a VMS binary. Which is why it won't run on a PC. I want a MicroGnuEmacs binary also, with all the goodies. I can't get the source to a PC easily, and I can't compile it easily. Nothing seems to work. If anyone can find such a thing, please tell me! (And tell Mr. Wolman, too.) Daniel F.

I've compiled mg2a for MS-DOS under Turbo C 2.0 (based on source files on snow.white.toronto.edu) and uploaded the results to simtel20: Directory PD1:<MSDOS.EDITOR> MG2A_EXE.ZIP B 51265 910322 MicroGnuEmacs: GNU emacs-compat. editor, EXE MG2A_SRC.ZIP B 394600 910322 MicroGnuEmacs: GNU emacs-compat. editor, C src Documentation is included with the source files and is in TeX format. An initialization file can be specified in the following fashion: set mgstartup=c:\emacs\emacs.rc By default the editor creates .bak files; this can be turned off by including the line (make-backup-files) in the initialization file. Other than having compiled the code and making a few minor modifications (principly to achieve a successful compile), I have nothing to do with mg. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitnet: gomme@uwovax.bitnet gomme@uwovax.uwo.ca Internet: gomme@uwo.ca
