I learned from the documentation that came with the ECP8 command
processor that a fellow named Brian Fox created an Emacs-style editor
for the Apple ][. It's called AMACS.
I have tried to contact Mr. Fox at the address listed in the ECP8
documentation without success.
Two questions:
1. Does anyone out there in cyberspace have a good snail-mail
(or better, e-mail) address for Brian Fox?
2. Has anyone used AMACS? If so, what do you think of it?

Good luck. Please let us know what you find.
You are aware that there is a uEMACS version running on the GS aren't you?

Has anyone used AMACS? If so, what do you think of it? It's the balls. I am a professional Apple II programmer (consulting) and I wouldn't use anything else. The ProDOS 8 version is fast and awesome. It's better implemented than 90% of the ones I've used on IBMs, Atari STs, Macs... Has full filename completion, command name completion, etc. Completely great program. I stick it on my IIgs RAMdisk as part of normal booting up because I always want it/need it.

Funny you should mention this, because today I found need for such a beast: a plain text ascii editor which will run under ProDOS 8 on the Apple IIe. Where can I get this program in a hurry? FTP site? Mail it to me? Someone help? Thanks very very much in advance... Dave -- David Pirmann pirmann@rutgers.edu Rutgers LCSR Operations pirmann@njin.BITNET
