******************************************

I have been using Microemacs under the Mac OS for quite a while now.
I am very pleased with it, and, although it's not GNU, it still is the
best PD software I have tried on the Mac. It's fast, supports all your
memory, has nice window and window/mouse management system, etc. It is
VERY, VERY usable.

I find a shell in a buffer useless, since I just switch to another application
in multifinder, and none of the MAC OS applications I use comes up with
anything I would want to process in a window anyway.

One thing, though, it lacks is the ability to print from it. Major shortcoming
as far as I am concerned. A minor problem is that it doesn't remember its
window size and window location between launchings.

In any case, big thanks to Earle Horton for doing such a nice job for the
rest of us.
