	Is there an Emacs (or MicroEmacs) for the Amiga 1000 ?

	If so, where could I find such a beast?

AmigaLibDisk 147 (aka Fish Disk #147) has the ``mg'' executable ...ver 2a.
The latest sources of "mg" (micro GNU (sic) emacs) are on disk 131 (ver 1b).
There is supposed to be a beta version of mg3 "floating around" someplace.
The ``mg'' executable is less than 100K so should work fine on an unexpanded
A1000.

Also, on the EXTRAS disk for both 1.2 and 1.3 AmigaOS, there is CBM's port of
a MicroEMACS ... this is also usable on an A1000.

If you have an expanded system (i.e. mucho RAM), you may want to try the real
GNU Emacs.  Check out some of the recent postings to comp.sys.amiga.misc for
the details.
