Can anyone advice me where to obtain a copy of this since Emacs is my favorite text editor. You might be happy with Freemacs. It's on simtel20.army.mil, in pd1:<msdos.freemacs>. SIMTEL20 files are also available by anonymous ftp from mirror sites OAK.Oakland.Edu (141.210.10.117), wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4), ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9), nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100), src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.3.7), nic.switch.ch (130.59.1.40), archie.au (139.130.4.6), nctuccca.edu.tw (140.111.3.21), by e-mail through the BITNET/EARN file servers. Modem: If you cannot access them via FTP or e-mail, most SIMTEL20 MSDOS files, including the PC-Blue collection, are also available for downloading from Detroit Download Central (313) 885-3956. DDC has multiple lines which support 300/1200/2400/9600/14400 bps (103/212/V22bis/HST/V32bis/V42bis/MNP). This is a subscription system with an average hourly cost of 17 cents. It is also accessable on Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink outdial. New files uploaded to SIMTEL20 are usually available on DDC within 24 hours.
