ThanX to all the folks who responded to my posting about the world of micro emacs in all its colours. The concensus was that MicroGNUEmacs, aka. mg2a, is the closest to real GNU Emacs, and MicroEmacs3.x is both more powerful and more buggy. Jove was noted for its DOS compatability. I decided to go with mg2a. It compiled without a blink, and even linked to the shared libraries on the first go (The machine is an at&t 3b1). I picked mg2a because: 1) The votes were 2:1 in favor of mg2a. 2) It is the most compatable with emacs. 3) I didn't want to risk agetting a buggy product, and at least one person said of MicroEmacs; "If you can get it to compile..." 4) Jove sounded nice, but I hate to use anything that is DOS compatable for fear of encouraging the use of DOS. :-):-):-) ThanX again. -- :alex.

I was wondering if someone could tell me where I could find a copy of the full
source to mg2a. I've got some of the source and documentation, but i would
kill for a copy of the whole thing.

You can UUCP it from osu-cis; instructions in comp.sources.d. For
that matter, you can ftp it from osu-cis if you're on the Internet;
the `dir' command doesn't work for reasons I don't care to go into,
but if you don't mind operating `blind,' you can cd to pub/mg via anon
ftp, which is exactly the same as /u/public/mg via UUCP. Use the UUCP
instructions to know what to pick up.
