Emacs is an extremely powerful, flexable, and more-or-less
standard user interface. I've witnessed its remarkable evolution
from an experimental editor written in teco (and/or pdp-10 assembly
language) on a DEC-20, to the present-day gnuemacs. As a blind
hacker, I feel its time to demand my rights as a member of this
community: [* I want the power of EMACS at my fingertips as soon as
possible!!! *].
I remember that the DEC-20 Emacs came with a "dumb" terminal
driver. From the little experience I had with it, I recall it
to be fairly useful, although clumsy in some ways. My
question/proposal to the net is that this driver be defined for
GNUEMACS. In fact, I'll build it and test it, but I'll need help
from an Emacs wizard to get started. Any takers? Any
comments/questions? Does anyone care at all!!? :-)
Please respond to me directly (or cc to me if you wish to post
