Does anyone have experience with both Freemacs and MicroEMACS
and have an *objective* opinion of the two? Or, is there another
shareware EMACS for MS-DOS boxes that is superior to the two that I
have mentioned?
Basically, it's like this: Choose Freemacs if you want the best GNU
Emacs emulation and don't need to edit files >64K. Choose
MicroEMACS if you want to be able to run the exact same program on
both DOS and Unix.
Well, maybe. But on my cheap XT clone Freemacs keeps hanging, so I
stick with the horrid Micro Emacs (well, not realy, now I have Vpix
(dos under Unix) so I'm going to use Gnu Emacs, just whip up
something to insert & remove those stupid CR's when I load'n'save).
