Also: No it doesn't but of course there is XLisp source available and Emacs source available. So what else do you need ? :-) On the Amiga I've hacked up a version of 3.10 that talks to the REXX langauge processor so that one can do really wild stuff with the editor like add tex-buffer commands and do compiles into and out of the emacs text space but that won't help you I'm afraid. >1) does Micro-Emacs support parentheses balancing ?

Yes, but be aware that on PC type machines that it does *not* do any sort of virtual memory management so you can only edit files up to a size of (TPA - sizeof(emacs.exe)). Depending on your setup that can be as small as 100K files. >3) is the micro version "just" an editor ? or does > it have the developement environment like its > mainframe cousin ? The editor has a command language that can do some stuff like pipe a buffer through a command. But of course the amount of memory left to run a command would be real tight when it came to something like a C program being compiled by microsoft C. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

(I did see one followup posting but it didn't address what I need to know.) My question is, is there documentation for Micro-Emacs I could get from somewhere ? It's the Emacs that happenned to be lying around when I started work here. Barring that, how does one go about getting a gnu emacs ? Very beginner questions, and so all information is appreciated.
