Only prob I have is the +8 version was compiled with the mouse flag set false :-( Anyway, you can get them from anonymous FTP at any of these: midas.mgmt.purdue.edu wuarchive.wustl.edu in /mirrors/msdos/memacs dir. wsmr-simtel.army.mil in PD2:(unix.c-editors) also FREEmacs (smaller type of emacs) is at: grape.ecs.clarkson.edu and MG (a GNU-ish microemacs) is at: snow.white.toronto.edu in /pub/mg Shawn E.

There are several mail servers that will process the ftp commands for those who
have access to e-mail, but not FTP. Addresses are:
In North America:
LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU North Dakota State University.
LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
In the body of the mail have the command:
GET PDGET HELP PCSERV-L
Also:
BITFTP@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU
In the body of the mail have the command:
HELP
In Europe use:
TRICKLE@TREARN ("Turgut Kalfaoglu" <TURGUT@TREARN>)
TRICKLE@IMIPOLI ("Marco Gandolfi" <MARCO@IMIPOLI>)
TRICKLE@BANUFS11 ("Michel Daulie" <DAULIE@BANUFS11>)
TRICKLE@AWIWUW11 ("Gustaf Neumann" <NEUMANN@AWIWUW11>)
TRICKLE@DB0FUB11 ("Wolfram Fassbender" <EARNIE@DB0FUB11>)
TRICKLE@EB0UB011 ("Oriol Robert" <ZCCBORR@EB0UB011>)
(note: these are EARN/BITNET style addresses. If anyone has Internet
style addresses, please let me know. TRICKLE@TREAN.BITNET might
work, but not sure).
In the body of the mail have the command:
/HELP
Much of the above can be found in the help files associated with each mail
server.
If anyone knows of any other mirrored archives of Simtel20, please let me
know and I'll add them to this generic response.
Thanks.

Freemacs is a programmable editor. The .EXE file is only 21K because
it only contains a language interpreter and text editor primitives. The
bulk of the programming is done in MINT, which is a string-oriented
language. Freemacs is yet another Emacs clone. Emacs was first written
at MIT by Richard M. Stallman.
There are a number of Emacs clones for the PC available. Freemacs
has three distinguishing characteristics:
o Freemacs is free, and it was designed from the start to be programmable.
o Freemacs is the only IBM-PC editor that tries to be like GNU Emacs.
o Freemacs can only edit files less than 64K in length.
You may freely copy this software. I only ask that you send improvements
back to me for incorporation into the package for the rest of us. The
distribution is available from one or more of the following sources:
EMACS16A ARC The executables and MINT code.
EMACS100 ARC Zenith Z-100 version. Requires EMACS16.
EMACSPEL ARC Spelling checker.
EMACSEGA ARC A collection of EGA utilities
EMAC16AS ARC The .ASM source.

archive-server%sun.soe@omnigate if you are on Bitnet, or
{smart-host}!sun.soe.clarkson.edu!archive-server if you are using
UUCP. The mail message should consist of 'help'. If you do not
get a reply within a day, then your return path is broken. You'll
need to use the path command to give a mail address that our mailer
can grok. Our mailer can send mail to any address with an '@' in it,
with the exception of ".UUCP" pseudo-addresses.
Or else send $15 (copying fee) to the author. This will assure you of the
