Could some kind soul kindly send me information about
emacs and Xenix (SCO, whatever)? I hate to interrupt
the flow, but this seemed the best place to post....

I hate to interrupt | the flow, but this seemed the best place to post.... The answer is: define emacs, define xenix... Microemacs works with SCO 286 and 386, versions prior to 3.10 need one kind of binding while 3.10 uses another. GNU emacs works on SCO 386. If you're using SCO for 68000 (Tandy, etc), or Altos, microemacs will work, GNU won't fit (late versions of Tandy Xenix may have fixed this). Freemacs is MS-DOS only, but since it's in 8086 asm might be converted to xenix if you care, mg (formerly microGNU) is supposed to run on SCO 286 and 386, but has some problems with 286 compilers before 2.3.1. No word on SCO3.2, but I assume that it works like xenix386 and INteractive ix. Sorry for the complex answer, both terms you used are pretty generic. bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
