For years now, people have posted to the net asking for GNU Emacs
and/or Common Lisp for their PC's. A short article
in the November BYTE magazine, gives me hope that these items
might soon be available.

The article says that the new version of the Lattice's C compiler
can compile programs larger than 640K and that the extender needed
to run these programs can be given away (i.e. no royalties).

More good news: the compiler includes a library of many Unix-like 
functions, including a curses clone. Some bad news: the compiler 
costs $495.
