It is by far the best Emacs I have ever used; far better than one you could buy. It is amazingly easy to add features to it. For example, a few of us added a netnews reading mode to it (very similar to vnews) in one weekend. The mail reading program is very similar to Babyl, and probably one of the best you can get for a Unix system. All in all, it is hard to beat. -Dave -- Arpa: dms@mit-hermes.arpa Usenet: mit-eddie!mit-hermes!dms
