Are you an EMACS user or someone knowledgeable in the inner mysteries of the editing environment? Most importantly, can you write up an objective review of a commercial EMACS editor without 1. being too biased against the "philosophy of selling software" and 2. getting into any conflict of interest with your employer? If your answer is "YES" to all of the above, then I would like to hear from you ASAP: In conjunction with Alan Southerton of 'Unix World' magazine, we're looking for someone who can evaluate, review and write up their results and thoughts for a future issue of the magazine. (I will also be available as co-author or editor if you're anxious about the quality of your prose) The product is the new X Window System compatible version of UniPress EMACS, and it was only just released on the HP-UX platform. Initial word is that it's a really nice version with many hooks into X Windows ... Lest we forget, you would not only get to play with this new piece of software -- and probably keep it -- but you would also have the pleasure of seeing your name and mug shot in print in the magazine [and publications look great on your resume!]. AND, most importantly of all, you'd get paid $$ for the review too. Sound interesting? If so, please drop me a note with some indication of your qualifications. Thanks for the bandwidth, -- Dave Taylor Intuitive Systems Mountain View, California taylor@limbo.intuitive.com or {uunet!}{decwrl,apple}!limbo!taylor
