I am a system manager of a shop full of both VAX/VMS and SUN-4 machines.
The Suns were a recent addition, and all the users are firmly entrenched
in VMS mode (I personally was glad to get away from the restrictive VMS
environment, I started out programming in a UNIX/BSD environment).
One of the biggest complaints from my user community is about the editors
available on the Sun-4 (VI and the mouse-based TEXTEDIT). Are there any
other editors available for the Sun-4 in the public domain? (An EMACS
look-alike would be great.)
Ed's Note: Gnuemacs (the Free Software Foundation version of Emacs) is
probably the editor of choice to use if you want a Emacs lookalike. You
can FTP it from host 'prep.ai.mit.edu' (directory pub/gnu). I think at
this point the latest distribution is 18.55.
