There is a version of uEmacs on cpm-80 systems. Or at least there
must be. For the Kaypro 2, 4 and 10 there is a program called
Perfect Writer that looks *AMAZINGLY* like uEmacs. In fact, I knew
about Perfect Writer before I knew about uEmacs. I was surprised to
find the same (almost) program. PW is a commercial product. I'm not
sure about the legallities of this are, whether whoever wrote uEMacs
was asked first (hence the copyright notice at the beginning of the
3.8[bf] documentation??). Anyway, PW runs on a Z-80 CPM machine in
under 64k with multiple buffers, windows, etc. I am an unwilling
expert on it (my mother is writing a history dissertation on it!).
So it is possible.

  My question is:  in the uEmacs we just got (I have it for the ST,
and it's labelled 3.8f), there is a document called EMACS1.MSS. This
was formatted for a program that is *VERY* much like the one in
Perfect Writer. They both use the at sign (@) in front of commands,
etc. What formatter is this? Is it in the Public Domain or Shareware
or Free? I am very interested, I would much rather print from the ST
than the Kaypro.

Thanks in advance,

John Ogawa
