Please tell this to IBM. They were, at one time, distributing GNU Emacs with the RS6000, but ceased to do so for some trifling legal reason. As we all know, legal reasons can be affected by economic reasons. Threaten not to buy any more unless they come with GNU Emacs. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 We won the cold war. The Russians spent trillions defending their stuff, then they found that they didn't have any stuff. Will we avoid the same trap?
