     First of all, thanks to everyone for responding to my initial question
     about Unipress Emacs for the Amiga. Secondly, a few questions and
     comments. Does the 250k that Emacs will use include buffer memory, or
     is that extra? Also, will the new Unipress version allow you to
     compile your programs from the editor?  And, can you have emacs sit on
     top of other windows, meaning if you opened a CLI shell, could you cut
     and paste in it, or cut and paste between it and the editor?

I asked some of these same questions  of Unipress and this is what
they answered:

	One of the nicest things about Unipress Emacs on Unix is its process
	control facilities.  I like to be able to: run a Unix shell inside an
	Emacs window, "filter-region" an Emacs region thru a Unix filter, run
	the C compiler asynchronously, etc.  Will the planned Unipress Amiga
	Emacs have similar facilities (which I guess would utilize AmigaDos)?

    Agreed, and yes, we'll definately impliment all those things for
    AmigaDos.  Perhaps not in the first alpha version, because we're
    taking the time to generalize all the O/S interfaces to remove the
    assumption that emacs is running on an Unix.  Thanks for your
    interest.
