The problem with MicroEmacs was that it was promised to be posted... then
Rich Salz (comp.sources.unix moderator) declared a moratorium on editor
postings.  This has apparently been interpreted as a moratorium on editors
in comp.sources.misc as well.

People, I'm here to get sources out.  I'm NOT supposed to block sources; as
a result, I am perfectly willing to accept the MicroEmacs sources (heck, I've
been waiting for them!).  (Yes, I made a comment, intended as a joke, about
"maybe I should stop accepting editors too" when I posted VI for VMS.  It
*was* a joke; I've no business rejecting source postings, my sole job is
to get rid of non-source.)

So where is MicroEmacs, already??!  ;-)
