I used UNIPRESS EMACS with DOS but was never satisfied because of file size limitations memory limitations etc. I would like to be able to view my directory launch compilers, edit files of any size, etc. Any opinions or advise would be greatly appreciated. Hmm... If you could tell us which OS you are using (new OS doesn't help me), we might be able to help. I'm going to suggest GNU Emacs if at all possible, since it is the ONE and ONLY TRUE EMAS. The rest (Gosling/UniPress included) are close, but not quite there... they are missing the FULLBLOWN Lisp environment, GC and all.
