]A company called 'Mark Of the Unicorn' used to make a emacs style
]editor called MINCE. Are they still in business? Does anyone on the
]net use mince? I heard it was a very nice editor.

	I believe that Mark of the Unicorn exists - they sell a music
program for the Mac I think and a terminal emulation program for the
IBM-PC (PC-Intercomm).  They used to sell a word processor for the PC,
Final Word (a combination of MINCE and Scribe, their old word processor).
I recently got a letter from FW Corp (Final Word Corp) that suggests
some of the products may have been split off.  Mince was available for
CPM, but the version that I used on the PC was really only designed for
DOS 1.1, I am not sure they were selling it by the time Dos 2.X came
out. (That was some time ago).
