[comp.emacs] Does Gnu Emacs run under Layers

  Hi there!  A question for you gnu emacs users.  Is anyone running gnu emacs
under layers?  We have a couple of 3B2/400s hooked up to 630 terminals running
layers, and would like to run gnu emacs.  Before going out and getting the
whole moster at 1200 baud I thought I'd ask if it works under layers first
(there being no point otherwise).  System V version 3.1.  Email to me please.

Thanks very much!

P.S. I've tried microemacs, but it doesn't like layers...

I used both full GNU Emacs as well as MicroGNUEmacs on 5620s on VAXen
and 3B{2,15}s running V.0, V.2, and V.2.2 with no problem.  I don't
recall ever experimenting with Lawrence's MicroEMACS.  I have it
running on V.3.0 3B2/400s now as well, albeit without 5620s/630s.  A
subtle change or two was necessary for V.3.1; it's been discussed in
bug-gnu-emacs.

And if you're going to be picking it up from osu-cis, there are
2400bps lines available.  See any of the semi-recent postings in
comp.sources.d.
