I don't know if there is a version of GNUemacs for DOS.. but if you can find that, then you could use LaTeXinfo, which is a LaTeX based version of emacs hypertext tool: Texinfo. (and there _is_ emacs on Vms) Here is an extract of the README: } This is version 1.2 of the LaTeXinfo documentation, and is for Version 18 } of GNU Emacs. } Documentation for GNU utilities and libraries is usually written in a } format called "TeXinfo". This document describes an enhancement } of this format which can be used with LaTeX instead of TeX. } Mike Clarkson (mike@ists.ists.ca) I don't know if there are any ftp-sites for that (it has been posted in comp.emacs), otherwise I can send you the shar files. This is a really neat tool, the only feature I'd like is a translation of LaTeX tables in the info (hypertext) file.. but I hope GNU will support this tool.
