     CED is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program which supports a
dynamic command stack, as well as aliases and command chaining (more than one
command on a line).  CED is also the public domain version of PCED, a
commercial program.  Save yourself the trouble of re-inventing the
wheel and get CED or PCED.

     MicroEmacs is a *VERY* scaled-down version of [GNU] Emacs.  It
does not have a LISP macro language in which to write new and bizarre
editing functions -- almost everything is hard-coded into MicroEmacs.
Still, considering the price (free) and the functions that it does support,
MicroEmacs is quite good.

     How to get these programs:

     1. There are a few good BBSes in the Bay area that have CED.
	You could call them up and download it (the file is usually
	called CED10D.ARC).  You need a program called ARC to
	un-archive files with a .ARC extension.  Send email if you
	would like the phone numbers.  These BBSes are usually *VERY*
	busy and so you may have to call at 3:30AM in the morning
	to get through (and even then you might not).
	NOTE: I can't send email to you, as I can't find a UUCP path
	to bartleby (I assume it's at Berzerkely).  If you want me
	to send email *back* to you, I need a UUCP path.
     2. If you have a way to transfer BINARY files from UNIX to
	MSDOS, I could email you the uuencoded version of CED and
	MicroEmacs (and ARC, if you don't have it).  WARNING: the
	sources to MicroEmacs is around 710K.
     3. (If all else fails) Send two 360K disks or one 1.2Meg disk and
	a self-addressed stamped disk mailer to me, and I'll copy the
	programs and mail them back to you.

NOTE: I can't send email to you, as I can't find a UUCP path to bartleby (I
assume it's at Berzerkely).  If you want me to send email *back* to you,
I need a UUCP path.
