[comp.emacs] Different flavours of EMACS.....

fisher@SIFVX3.SINET.SLB.COM (11/22/89)

Hello all,

I've only just joined this group and I've been using MicroEMACS-p 3.9e for six
months (and 3.7 before that).  It is in C, and is currently running on Vax, Sun,
and Atari machines.  Having just received my first batch of mail from the group
I don't recognise any of the syntax of commands/bindings spoken about.  I
thought I knew EMACS, but I have only seen uEMACS-p 3.7 and 3.9.

Can someone post a list of the different 'flavours' of EMACS around, their major
differences and from where they can be obtained.

What are you all using?

Thanks.
