I've heard GNU Emacs was removed mainly because it took up so much disk space. Instructions for installing GNUEmacs under A/UX 1.1 were printed in either MacUser or MacWorld sometime this year in a short article. You can find GNU Emacs already configured for AUX via FTP from apple.com. I forget what version was there, but it was at least 18.51, and it was pretty huge (well over 1MB) so I didn't get it. BTW, GCC 1.35 was also there for FTPing, and is patched for AUX. AUX versions of GNU Emacs and GCC were there a couple weeks ago, but with all the flack by FSFers against Apple for their law suits, I suppose they could have disappeared since. I hope not. If you don't want to have GNU Emacs eating tons of disk space, you might want to consider one of the small emacs-like editors. I plan to use Ken Mitchum's AUX port of Jonathan Payne's JOVE editor when I get my AUX machine going. JOVE has the emacs commands and modes that I use most often, and is reasonably compact and fast. Versions of JOVE 4.12 configured for both AUX and the MacOS are available via FTP from cadre.dsl.pittsburgh.edu.
