As I stated before my criteria for obtaining the sources for MicroEMACS was that it be public domain. I wanted to port a version of Emacs to the Amiga for public consumption. The header says it is public domain and is lacking any sort of copyright notice. As to using any of Gosling's code or any other proprietary code I can't say one way or the other. I am not the author. So there it is. Go to it. Emacs away. One final thing...I think that the source should be genneraly available now that it has been posted to net.sources and is available for FTPing. I am hesitating to send out all 180K of sources again (via INFO-AMIGA). I would much prefer to mail copies to anyone that still has not been able to get a copy (I have posted the sources to CompuServe if you would prefer to get them there...look in the Amiga Forum). If you want a copy send a stamped self addressed mailer to me at 8080 Flint Rd. Worthington, Ohio, 43085. ----------- George M.
