Lines: 18 Keywords: text editor, public domain, shareware Does anyone out there have the current version of microEMACS? I've got version 0.6, and it has some noticeable bugs. However, it's incredibly useful for handling zillion-kilobyte text-only files that MacWrite would take hours to translate (and still get wrong.) If you have MicroEMACS >0.6, could you please mail it or post it to comp.binaries.mac? Thanks! I've also used Red Writer (aka MockWrite) - it's a good, Mac-standard interface text-only editor, but it has problems with very large files. (A 70KB list of bboards gagged it.) The Rutgers MicroLab had two or three other PD/shareware editors, but none survived the rigors of trying to start under System 4.1. :-( If y'all know of a good text-only editor for the Mac other than the ones I've mentioned, please let us know! - Steve Masticola (masticol@paul.rutgers.edu)
