In fact, I've considered Emacs to be the most wonderful text manipulation tool around since 1981, when I started using Stallman's original ITS Emacs (written in TECO) on a DECSYSTEM-20 (it could run ITS software becuase the underlying hardware is the same, and there's a software package called the "incompatibility package" that emulates the ITS system calls on TOPS-20). Since then I've used Gosling's Emacs and now Stallman's GNU Emacs, plus various Emacs-like editors including Jove, Amis, Fine, Epsilon, and various configurable editors set to their emacs-like modes, including Microsoft Visual Studio and Borland Sprint. I've even got Microsoft Word configured for the basic cursor movement commands; I do them so automatically I'm often 6 commands down the sequence before I notice the program isn't doing what I said. It as a *great* day for me when I found that GNU emacs could build for Windows and run natively! -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / New TMDA anti-spam in test John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ New Dragaera mailing list, see http://dragaera.info
