I want to emphasize I am  not telling people  to stop using  gnu emacs
because of rumored legal hassles.  I mean the sources  of these rumors
should either come   up with something  concrete  to  back  up   their
statements or they should shut up.  Until then we will continue to use
gnu emacs.

I should also like  to point out that  having  looked at the internals
of Montgomery Emacs  (from ATT),  CCA Emacs, Unipress (Gosling)  Emacs
and Gnu Emacs.  CCA Emacs is a lot more like ATT  Emacs than Gnu Emacs
is like  Unipress Emacs.  An example of  this  both Montgomery and CCA
emacs handle glob (*) via a backgroup shell process  to which emacs is
writing and from  which emacs is  reading.  Actually, since  Gnu Emacs
contains  a full implementation of   Lisp  (unlike  Gosling Emacs),  I
would say that conceptually Gnu Emacs is more similar to Prime Emacs.
