I've never used Coherent, but I understand that all software must run in 64K. Is there an Emacs around that does this? I'd love to run Unix on a PC, and Coherent is about the only thing I could afford, but I wouldn't have much use for the operating system if didn't have a halfway adequate writing tool. (With all due respect the vi-afficianados, vi is not not for me.) Thanks. Marshall Abrams

Is there an Emacs around that does this? I'd love to run There is a program called ELLE (ELLE Looks Like Emacs) which gives you basic editing functionality, and even has a sort of C-mode. I have used it on small-model MINIX, and it was great. It is available (via FTP) at plains.nodak.edu in directory /pub/Minix/all.contrib/Elle41 There is a lot of code, but it shouldn't have to be hacked too much. You may have to change the #includes to match coherent's directory structure. It's about (I think) 400K of 13-bit compressed shar archives. There is an executable, but it's for minix. I really have to recommend MINIX over coherent, at least until this 386 version comnes out. My MINIX - 386 is running the real emacs 18.55 right now! -Rens rt2@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu rens@gnu.ai.mit.edu

MicroEmacs is distributed with Coherent. MicroEmacs is powerful, fast, and easily customized. -lar Lar Kaufman I would feel more optimistic about a bright future (voice) 512-794-9070 for man if he spent less time proving that he can (fax) 512-794-0623 outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness lark@tivoli.com and respecting her seniority. - E.B.
