I finally managed to dig up a MicroEMACS, turned out that it was archived in
SIMTEL20...  It wonderful and you can't live without it!  My fingers no longer
tie themselves into knots when I used ED;  they can now use EMACS keybindings
just like they were intended to.

You can get a significant increase in screen update time by simply buffering
the output in termio.c .  I had it buffer up 512 characters at a shot, and
I noticed at least a 5 fold improvement!  I'll see if I can pass along the
diff's, but it was a pretty simple change.

As I mentioned before, if you have Internet FTP access, you can get a copy
of microemacs from TRANTOR.UMD.EDU in the info-amiga directory.  Alternatively,
you can get it from SIMTEL20.ARPA in the <UNIX.EDITORS> (I think) directory.

Enjoy!
