Is emacs for OS2 available? If so, would you please email me and let me know where I can get it, and where I can get the source for it, if possible? Thanks! Farnoush farnoush@bandit.berkeley.edu

Emacs will not port easily to OS/2 1.x since it only supports 64K segments. But it should port relatively easy to OS/2 2.0. Someone will port it, no doubt, but it won't be for at least another 6 months or so. (I may even try it myself.)

It depends on whether you consider MicroEmacs to be EMACS or not ... I use MicroEMACS version 3.10. It's great. It allows you to edit a file as large as all of memory (which when you count disk swap space in OS/2 is quite large). I've edited a few 5M files with it. It's available from any place that carries the COMP.BINARIES.OS2 archives. You can also download it from my Fidonet BBS at (306) 966-4857, HST Dual Standard bis 14400 bps modem, Fidonet node 1:140/43 as ue310*.* (there are about 5 files in total, one is source, one is executables, one is docs, one is macros, etc.) - Kevin Lowey

I've never bothered to get it, since I don't use Emacs.
