We have an interest in providing the GNU Emacs editor for a group of users
on a VMS 4.7 system. Most of our users currently use CCA and/or UniPress
emacs. Since our exposure to GNU Emacs' is minimal, I wanted to ask this
newsgroup the following questions:
1) What are the pros & cons of obtaining a release of GNU-EMACS
tailored for VMS, verses going after a recent Unix release?
2) Has anyone converted a group of users from either CCA and/or
UniPress emacs before, and if so do you have any hints,
literature or the likes which you would care to share? Anyone
have a one page "cheat" sheet for getting new users of GNU emacs
started?
3) There appears to be a high number of updates released. If so,
what is a reasonable approach to ensuring GNU Emacs is current
without becoming over burdened with maintenance.
Please respond directly to me and if I recent enough responses, I'll post a
summary to this bulletin bboard.
