Does anyone out there know anything about Hemlock EMACS? I heard that it was written by Carnegie Melon. Specifically, how does it compare to Gnu? --Doug Doug Roberts Los Alamos National Laboratory dzzr@lanl.gov

Hemlock, I believe, was written in whatever variety of Lisp the CS department
had running on their Perq's. I've never used it (my perq was dead before
I got it:-), but people have told me that it was reasonable.
As to how it compares to GNU -- it ran on machines with finite resources
and wasn't endorsed by religious fanatics.
(spare me the flames)
