[bit.listserv.aix-l] Emacs on AIX/370

RCLARKE@MITVMA.BITNET (Rocklyn E. Clarke) (03/27/90)

I'm glad to hear emacs is available for AIX on the PS/2!  I assume that
it is also available for AIX/370.  How can I get emacs?  Is it a seperately
ordered product?

        Hello, If you get a reply to your question regarding emacs for
AIX/370, could you please forward a copy to me? I am looking for
emacs on the 370 series as well and I would like to avoid the inevitable
headaches of porting the "raw" GNU code. Thanks in advance.

Emacs is NOT a product, at least not gnuemacs. It's freely available
from the Free Software Foundation; you can get it with anonymous ftp
from prep.ai.mit.edu. Emacs, like any self-respecting editor, will
only work on character-at-a-time terminals, so if all you have is 3270-series
terminals, forget it.
