I'm running GNU on ULTRIX and VMS and like to have a version of Emacs on PCs (MSDOS and VENIX). I have a version of microemacs but the bindings are not GNU and I would rather not have to learn another customizing language. What features does micrognu have and where can I get it? (in particular, does it have the same lisp as GNU and is the documentation complete?) And on the competing front: What features does freemacs have? Brad Tipler tipler@skl-crc.arpa

Well, to write with a broad brush, Freemacs has several distinguishing characteristics: o 100% 8088 Assembler. Fast, unportable. o Programmable in a real (though funky) programming language, MINT. o 17K of Assembler, 60K of MINT (MINT is not TRAC). o 64K limit on file size :-( This usually decides it for most people. I am (all too) slowly bringing Freemacs into compliance with GNU Emacs. It was written to the TECO Emacs manual. Please feel free to flame me about non-conforming features. -- -russ AT&T: (315)268-6591 BITNET: NELSON@CLUTX Internet: nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu GEnie: BH01 Compu$erve: 70441,205

I have been following the recent discussion on the merits of the different PC implementations of EMACS, and I have tried out some of them, and read most of the documentation. Freemacs is certainly smooth and fast in use. One thing I am looking for in particular, though, I have not found in Freemacs, microEMACS or JOVE, and that is a TeX mode. Is there a PC version of EMACS that does have a TeX mode?
