I have made a survey of the differences between GNU emacs and ez. I have a compatibility package, which I am offering to CMU as contributed software. Most of the changes change key bindings. Alas, I have become like all other right thinking people and use CMU style transpose chars. Contrary to popular belief, I did not write emulation of MIT style transpose. Should I post the (somewhat long) survey of the differences between GNU Emacs and ez? This tells the differences down to where the cursor is when you're done with the command... -wdc

YES, post your survey! I think it would be enlightening for many folks, plus it could start lots of discussion about why a feature is implemented a certain way. Of course, that would slow down bug fixes since all the programmers would be posting replies to replies to replies about features... -- | Richard "carm" Chimera | Zorched by Zarches, | | Human Computer Interaction Laboratory | spaceman Spiff's | | A.V.
