[comp.emacs] Final Word/Emacs/MicrGNU/CPM-80

USGCORB@LEHIIBM1.BITNET (Stephen Corbesero) (03/17/87)

As far as an EMACS for CPM/80 goes, although Mince was mentiond which
does support emacs at a "source" code level, a better choice would probably
be Final Word, version 1.xx.  I had used FW for a long time and was able to
get much of teh emacs functionality in keystrokes, although it does
support the extensibility.  Additionally, FW supports paging so you can
edit files larger than 30K.

Presently I use Final Word II on my PCs for most of my integrated word
processing and editing needs (half of FW  is the editor while the other is
a mostly Scribe compatible formatter.) By the way, FW  is available from
Mark of the Unicorn, although finding a version 1.xx copy may be
difficult.
