(about GNU's EMACS)

We use it on our SGI machines, our Vaxen and a slew of other Unix machines.
It's available via anonymous ftp in compressed tar format from prep.ai.mit.edu.
Check out all the great Gnu software in the pub/gnu directory.  Of course
I'm not associated with the Free Software Foundation, but I'm really glad
that there are brilliant people out there who give good software away...

I would reccomend GNU gnuplot to anyone who does simple x-y scientific
plotting and needs something for their Iris.  The code builds easily (it
knows about SGI machines) and is quite versitile.  We also run it 
from the Iris over the ethernet to PCs communicating using NCSA telnet (another
great P.D. program).  The NCSA telnet package emulates a Tektronics 40XX 
type screens and gnuplot has a driver for these...works great.
