Sources can be gotten from jade.berkeley.edu, in pub/mg (last time I looked, anyway) to compile under either Manx 3.6 or (sorta-kinda) Lattice 4.x. >> waiting for MG3 to show up (with an Arexx port, among other claimed >> enhancements, to add programmability). Yes, it's got an ARexx port. Also got a much-improved keyboard macro support, so you can name the keyboard macro "M-x rexx C-m compile C-m" as "compile", and do M-x compile and have it do make in the background, output going into a buffer after it's done. A side affect of this is the abilty to run keyboard macros inside keyboard macros. For those of you with funny keyboards, the 8bit character support has been worked out with input from people who use them regularly. The sources to various beta versions of mg3 are in the same place as mg2. There are known bugs in all the betas. One of these days, I'm going settle down, roll in the DECStation code, and do another beta....
