[comp.emacs] MicroEmacs for the Mac!

ianf@nada.kth.se (Ian Feldman) (11/23/89)

In response to a query from David L. Kensiski, whose UUCP and INTERNET-
address mail returns user/ site unknown from here: 

Dave,
  the most recent version is 3.9e, ported and significantly enhanced
  by Earle R. Horton of Dartmouth;  it's available by anonymous ftp
  from sumex-aim [36.44.0.6] in the /info-mac/app/ directory. 
  In the same archive there is also the entire source code of the
  Mac version though I've yet to look at it.  Unfortunately the
  documentation supplied is of "Twiggyish" variety and there are
  no sample .rc files.

  I'm in the process of acquiring a full 90-odd page uEmacs 3.10
  manual along with example command/ macro-files that are supposed
  to work on the MS-DOS platform.  We'll see.

  Incidentially: the Mac uEmacs is nice and fast (as it should!).
  Unfortunately it lacks an undo and there are no means of binding
  command sequences to option-key-combinations.  Control, Cmd and
  the Escape keys of the ADB keyboard are supported though, as are
  the Function keys of the extended ADB one and, of course, the mouse.

  Alas, there is no active support to be had from anywhere, Earle
  Horton being preoccupied by a doctorate in progress at the moment.
  Maybe it's time for calling into being an informal Mutual Mac uEmacs
  User Support Group?
