With the untimely death of my Tandy 200, I plan to buy one of the new small DOS laptop machines (probably a Toshiba 1000), and would like to be able to run a version of Emacs for note-taking and light editing. It would be terrific if the editor understood modes for text and C and/or could be programmed in emacs lisp, but "feel" and key-mapping close to Gnu Emacs is more important than bells and whistles. After years learning the quirks of Gnu Emacs, I don't look forward to learning another set of quirks for a DOS editor. Any recommendations? Is there a Microemacs that might fill my needs? As we do not have access to ftp, I'd appreciate suggestions of public domain or shareware source available from uucp archives. Thanks. -- Ronald Florence ...{hsi,rayssd}!mlfarm!ron
