Message-ID: Date: 7 Aug 90 15:36:29 GMT Sender: pcg@aber-cs.UUCP Organization: Coleg Prifysgol Cymru Lines: 20 I have been tempted again, and I have put GNU Emacs on my poor 386, but with only 2 megs of total memory it pages too much (Even if I have cut it down a lot, etc...). It is too large. I am stuck with jove, which is not too bad, but not the thing I want really. I was wondering though. The best Emacs I have seen was Multics Emacs by Greenberg, and it was written entirely in Lisp. Is there any freely available Emacs clone written in Lisp or, preferably, Scheme? I guess that it should be smaller (and probably faster), given a suitable Lisp o Scheme implementqation (Scheme-To-C or Yale T) than GNU Emacs, apart from more elegant. The orirginal Multics Emacs would do nicely, if Bull feels like making it free sw. -- Piercarlo "Peter" Grandi | ARPA: pcg%cs.aber.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk Dept of CS, UCW Aberystwyth | UUCP: ...!mcsun!ukc!aber-cs!pcg Penglais, Aberystwyth SY23 3BZ, UK | INET: pcg@cs.aber.ac.uk
