With undump, almost anything can become a quick-startup editor. We, for example, have a variant of Gosling Emacs to which I added the capability to coredump itself, it then being possible to use undump to create a version with all the functions preloaded which starts as fast as the raw version. This version is usually comparable to vi (my previous "quick start" editor) in startup speed. Similar things could probably be done with almost any editor. Isn't real GNU Emacs undumped? Why isn't it quick-start then? der Mouse Smart mailers: mouse@mcgill-vision.uucp USA: {ihnp4,decvax,akgua,utzoo,etc}!utcsri!musocs!mcgill-vision!mouse think!mosart!mcgill-vision!mouse ARPAnet: think!mosart!mcgill-vision!mouse@harvard.harvard.edu
