[comp.emacs] Freemacs goodies and docs

baileyc@boulder.Colorado.EDU (BAILEY CHRISTOPHER R) (03/14/90)

I have just started useing Freemacs on my IBM clone.  I like it quite well,
but I need some documentation.  Is there anywhere that I can anonymous
ftp to get gnu emacs docs???  

Also, are there any ftp sites, or bulletin boards that have Freemacs hacks,
or macros, or extra bindings, and things like that?  

How compatible is it with GNU?  Can I use GNU macros with it?

Thanks!

In my opinion, you'd do much better simply to buy a GNU Emacs manual.  It's
only $15, and it supports the FSF.  It's also competitive with printing
the manual yourself.

Hmmmm....  Well, I keep a log file for the mailing list, which is
where the nifty Freemacs stuff is posted.  It's on
sun.soe.clarkson.edu, pub/freemacs/log.

Keyboard compatible, fairly good, to be better with 1.6a (end of March).
You can't use GNU macros with it, but I keep adding similar internal
functions to those of GNU Emacs.
