We are looking at purchasing Un*x workstations, and the likely choices are Suns (plural) or Iris (singular). We are already using GNU emacs on VMS, and it would be very nice to have the same editor all over (with uEmacs on Macintoshes just to be complete). 1. Is there a version of GNU for (a) Sun? (b) Iris? 2. If so, how well do they integrate into the software development environment, how are windows handled, can the mouse be used, etc.? Thanks in advance, Niall

Hi, Out of curiousity, are you happy the GNU Emacs version for VMS? Which version are you using? How hard was it to bring up on VMS? We have been running GNU Emacs on our Suns (2's and 3's) with great success. Thanks, Ken Lebowitz BBN Labs <kjl@pineapple.bbn.com>

I have seen something called 'microEmacs' but it is not very customizable, ie. you cannot modify the key bindings. If you have any information about 'uEmacs' please eMail it to me.
