Or, is there another shareware EMACS for MS-DOS boxes that is superior to the two that I have mentioned? Basically, it's like this: Choose Freemacs if you want the best GNU Emacs emulation and don't need to edit files >64K. Choose MicroEMACS if you want to be able to run the exact same program on both DOS and Unix. Well, maybe. But on my cheap XT clone Freemacs keeps hanging, so I stick with the horrid Micro Emacs (well, not realy, now I have Vpix (dos under Unix) so I'm going to use Gnu Emacs, just whip up something to insert & remove those stupid CR's when I load'n'save).
