Where can one get a good emacs implementations for a DOS based machine? I would appreciate any help on this matter. Mohammad Al-Ansari Computer Science Department Indiana University

Before everybody start following up like crazy, may I ask that everybody interested in this question please grab the summary from the comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc archives... If you have anything *new* to add, then by all means post it. But I'm almost certain that we're going to see five people posting instructions on how to get Freemacs or whatever... For people who don't know what I'm talking about, the archives live on math.princeton.edu [128.112.128.157 for people with bogus host files], available for anonymous ftp in the directory pub/rjc/csip/editor.Z People who cannot ftp may obtain a copy by sending email to the server program at rjc@math.princeton.edu, with a blank subject line, and containing solely the two words send editor P.S., I'm thinking of posting selected contents of the archives. Anybody want to vote on which items they think would be most useful, please send me email.

I would appreciate any help on this matter. The best we've found is Epsilon, from Lugaru Software (412) 421-5911. The biggest disadvantage is that your emacs extension code won't work because Epsilon's extension language isn't Lisp, it's C. Strangely enough, the biggest advantage is that your emacs extension code won't work because Epsilon's extension language isn't Lisp, it's C. It's the best programmer's editor I've ever used, and I wish to h*ll it was available on UNIX generally. (It is available for xenix and microport). -- _ Kevin D.
