[comp.emacs] XEDIT emulation mode

anneser@pwa-b.UUCP (Dean Anneser) (10/21/89)

I hesistate in asking this without wearing a flame suit... however, in the
interest of saving our company money for not having to re-invent the wheel...

We have recently made a sizable investment in workstations, and a number of
IBM applications are being ported to them.  Many of the users who are also
being 'ported', want an editor with the look and feel of XEDIT.  Trying to
convince these users to learn Emacs has fallen on deaf ears, and as we
speak, efforts are underway to write an XEDIT editor for the workstations.

Does anyone know of Emacs LISP macros that can be used to provide an XEDIT
emulation mode for Emacs ??

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
