Um, the thing on the Extra's disk is "memacs"; it's unrelated to MicroGNUEmacs, except for a probable common ancestor. I highly recommend "mg" (not sure what version; last year a friend was betatesting v3a, while I have 2b installed in my system) which is free software and much less finicky and more Emacs-like than Jove. MicroGNUEmacs was built to closely match GNU; it turned into mg after the FSF asked us to drop the GNU from the name. If you like Jove, you'll probably hate mg (and anything else that looks like GNU). However, there are _lots_ of micro-emacs for the Amiga; find a fish index and look for "emacs" in the descriptions. mg2b is the latest "release" version of mg. mg3a was released in Beta, to get the ARexx interface out. The editor seems stable (I don't get lots of reports of crashes or lost text), but the documentation hasn't been properly updated.
