Hello- I have just found myself using a PS/2 running OS/2. I have no choice about what operating system to use. I have in my entire programming life (about eight years) only really enjoyed using emacs. Anyway, I need to get an editor that I can use productively that will run under OS/2. If someone has managed to port gnu emacs to OS/2, I would really like to hear about that. Otherwise, I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions about editors that are emacs-like that run under OS/2. Money is no object. In fact, I could swear that I saw an article somewhere a few months ago about all the emacs-like editors around. If enough people ask, I will summarize my findings to the net. If not enough, I will send out individual summaries to those who ask. Thank you very much. You have no idea what this means to me. -- Colin Owen Rafferty | I believe in compulsory cannibalism. colin@nbc1.ge.com | If people were forced to eat (I don't speak for NBC. | what they killed, there would Watch Tom Brokaw for that.) | be no more wars. -- Abbie Hoffman

When I was still living in the PC world, I used an editor called Epsilon, by Lugaru Software. It is totally PC based, but it comes in three flavors, for MS/DOS, OS/2 and Unix. It has its own C-like extension language called EEL (Epsilon Extension Language), and comes with many features and an excellent manual. It cost about $ 200 two years ago, and I was extremely happy with it. I don't have an address for Lugaru handy, but they are in Pittsburgh, and their phone number used to be (412) 421-5911.
