[comp.emacs] Cray version of Emacs?

FONS@vmd.cso.uiuc.EDU (Paul Fons) (08/15/89)

  I rather dislike VI and that is the only editor (besides ex and ed)
available on the Cray systems here at NCSA.  Does anyone know if there
has been a successful port done of any flavor of emacs to the Cray?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

  MicroEMACS 3.9e and 3.9p have been run on UNICOS successfully.

GNU Emacs hasn't officially been ported to the CRAY under UNICOS (but you
might want to check with the folks at CRAY and the U of Minn Supercomputer
Center), but if you're willing to work a tad, try Emacs on your friendly
neighborhood workstation, and use ftp-find-file and ftp-write-file to read
and write files on the CRAY.

A friend of mine who works at Cray uses GNU emacs, on both a Cray-2 and
a Cray-X/MP.  The speed with which it loads lisp libraries is nothing short
of astounding, especially on the 2.
