[comp.emacs] Gosling Emacs Followup

mlinar@eve.usc.edu (Mitch Mlinar) (05/16/89)

Well, I want to thank everybody who replied to me regarding Gosling
Emacs mode under Gnu Emacs and where Gosling Emacs is now.  I have
received an impressive amount of mail - all helpful and correct.
(Maybe I should stay out of talk.politics :-) :-)).

To summarize, if anyone cares:

You can purchase the commercial (and very good) emacs product called
"Unipress Emacs" - call them at (201) 985-8000 or Telex them at 709418 or
U.S. mail them at

	UniPress Software, Inc.
	Suite 312
	2025 Lincoln Highway
	Edison, NJ 08817


Using Gosling Emacs under Gnu Emacs is possible, although not complete:

Within GNU Emacs, there is a "Gosmacs" mode, that re-binds the keys
and key sequences to traditional "Gosling Emacs" bindings.  You can
enter this mode by typing M-x set-gosmacs-bindings.  To return to
the GNU bindings, type M-x set-gnu-bindings.  Just a note, Gosling
Emacs is basically the version that UniPress sells (they bought it
from Gosling, or something).

It is also possible to conver Mocklisp code for Gosling Emacs to
"true" lisp for GNU Emacs.  To do this, either edit that file or
visit it, and type M-x convert-mocklisp-buffer.  Save the resulting
buffer in a file whose name ends in ".el".

If you have to learn GNU Emacs, I would recommend picking up a copy
of the GNU Emacs Manual.  They cost $15 and are available from:

	Free Software Foundation
	675 Massachusetts Ave
	Cambridge, MA  02139

Once again, thanks to everyone who replied...
