[comp.unix.aux] which emacs?

jcf@mitre.org (James C. Fohlin) (08/14/90)

It seems that we now have at least three choices of emacs 18.55 for
A/UX courtesy of David Berry, John Coolidge, and Ron Flax (hope I got
the credits right).  I've done a cursory check and found that there
appear to be differences among the three.  If it's true that all three
are different, has anyone compared the capabilities of these?  Is one
considered to be the official FSF emacs?  I would like one that runs
with A/UX 1.1; however, I can build it using A/UX 2.0 if necessary or
desirable.  Are binaries generally backward compatible?  Thanks for
any information.

Actually, I'm not in the emacs race. I'm just maintaining an
archive of the other emacsen. I've got my fingers in lots of
things, but not emacs (except for using it, but then I'm not
doing that now either thanks to a temporary disk space crunch).
