From: *Hobbit* <AWalker@RUTGERS.ARPA> Don't lose any sleep over (c) James Gosling notices in GNUmacs sources. It just tells you that GNUmacs is a rewrite of an *old* Gosling Emacs, just as Unipress emacs is. The only difference [aside from the new code] is that Unipress wants money for their version. Here at Rutgers we have a *very* old EMACS.EXE that was obtained way back in the 2.? VMS days when Gosmacs was public domain. It still runs..... gak! _H* -------

Subject: GNU EMACS from Harvard (new information)
Date: 1 Apr 85 19:03:09 GMT
To: unix-wizards@brl-tgr.arpa
GNU EMACS is available on harvard via anonymous ftp. Please do transfers
during off hours.
There are two files:
~ftp/gnu/compress/emacs.tar -tar format
~ftp/gnu/compress/emacs.tar.Z -compressed tar format
emacs.tar.Z is compressed using the compress program distributed on
net.sources a while back. It isn't the most recent copy (unfortunately).
The source is in the file ~ftp/gnu/compress/compress.c. To decompress do
"compress -d -c emacs.tar.Z >emacs.tar".
Earlier versions of the compressed format were done using a version of
compress that had several serious bugs in it.
Send questions, suggestions, etc. to gnu@harvard or sasaki@harvard.

it's also available at mit-prep, but I think they kill their ftp demon after
about 9pm. it's pretty speedy getting it from harvard, if you follow his
request about doing it during off-hours.
GNU emacs has some bugs -- it's still under development, incredibly -- but it
is already the best emacs I've ever seen.

From: ihnp4!houxm!hou2e!grl@BERKELEY I believe that the computer center at Carnegie-Mellon U. is the place for you.
