The GNU emacs port to the Atari is too big for me. MicroEmacs 3.10 (and all its predecessors) is not key compatible with GNU. Moreover, command and variable names are different also. Hard to mix with real GNU. We have once coocked up a version which was compatible with regard to keys and command/variable names. It also could handle ANSI function keys and 8-bit characters. I may still have the sources somewhere. We have repeatedly tried to contact Daniel Lawrence so we could combine efforts, but never got a reply.
