Would people porting gnu software to Mac's please identify themselves to all of us who have lots of Mac's. We desperately want to run the same editor, compiler's, bison's, etc's. on all of our computer systems. (FYI. I'm writing this news posting from a Mac in our main lab.) We (the CS Dept.) are trying to provide our students with the same tools in all of the computing environments our students might be using. Some gnu tools are already very popular as they are free and work. Our students find gnu-emacs easy to get started with. Many of them have Mac's at home. It would be nice if our students could learn to use the gnu tools at home. They are very job concious and knowing the gnu.* tools will help them make good use of the "real" computers at school and at work once they leave the university for the real world. If you need help testing your Mac ports, we have people interested in being testers. (and later users) Please email me any info you might have. I will sumarize and post -- Stan Osborne, Computer Science Department, San Francisco State Univeristy Internet: stan@cs.sfsu.edu Usenet: cshub!stan Voice: (415) 338-2168

Summarize and post....
But the fact that Apple plays unfair and all that is what this group
is all about.

I will sumarize and post Would people who are interested in porting GNU software to Macs please use either comp.emacs or the mac newsgroup(s)? This certainly seems to make the most sense, since the programmers and users who want to know about Mac software will be most likely to see it on the mac group(s). Stan, if you post a summary, please do it to comp.emacs and/or the mac groups, and gnu.misc.discuss, if you must. Your consideration is appreciated. --woodstock -- "What I like is when you're looking and thinking and looking and thinking...and suddenly you wake up." - Hobbes woodstock@hobbes.intel.com ...!{decwrl|hplabs!oliveb}!intelca!mipos3!nate
