I have heard that JOVE, FREEMACS, and uEmacs are all available. How do they compare to GNU Emacs? Freemacs has the functionality and key bindings of GNU Emacs mod two things: o It can only edit files <64K in length. Most source files are less than this length, so that is usually not a problem. o It doesn't have undo. Frankly, I miss this more than large file editing. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear -- Freeman Dyson
