I've just started reading net.emacs on a regular basis, and GNU Emacs
seems very popular. Can I get a copy ? As far as I can make out, it's
supported by some people at mit, Len Tower, rms, etc. Could one of
those people (or in fact anyone) send me a note and tell me a bit about
it eg. what's it got, why is it better than Goslings emacs ?  Also,
who, what and why is the Free Software Foundation ? What does GNU stand
for ? I'm running 4.2 BSD on a VAX.

I've been using Warren Montgomery's emacs for about 6 months, and have just
switched over to Goslings Emacs (I moved from SVR2 to 4.2 BSD - no  comment!).

Thanks,
