Hey, it looks like my newsreader (Gnews) has made it to the BIG TIME! In SECRET ORIGINS 34, we finally see the origin of Gnort Esplanade Gneesmacher: "Once upon a time, in a far distant galaxy, on a far distant planet, beneath a far distant sun ... in the crowded, dirty, and generally obnoxious city of Squashedbush ..." Weemba says, check it out. On page 3 of the Gnort story, bottom left panel, look what papa Gnelson is reading: Today's Gnews. Yahoo! Go, Gnort buddy, go! All you comp.emacs readers, I suggest you run to your nearest comics specialty store and verify for yourself that Gnews is the most widely distributed Emacs code in the known DC universe. OK, I suppose gno one else in the world cares. I just had to say it. Dare I ask? What are the odds that DC could supply one copylefted pic of Gnort(TM) himself reading "Today's Gnews" for me, for use as a cover picture on my Gnews manual? It's not like we're talking Superman... ucbvax!garnet!weemba Matthew P Wiener/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720 "Nil sounds like a lot of kopins! I never got paid nil before!" --Groo
