>help me), we might be able to help. I'm going to suggest GNU Emacs if >at all possible, since it is the ONE and ONLY TRUE EMAS. Your confusion is matched only by your spelling. If any emacs is the "true" emacs, then it's the original PDP-10 implementation. > The rest >(Gosling/UniPress included) are close, but not quite there... they are >missing the FULLBLOWN Lisp environment, GC and all. You're joking, right? The PDP-10 implementation spoke TECO. According to my memory and all accounts I've read, Gosmacs predated gnumacs, and therefore mocklisp predated elisp. I recall reading statements ascribed to RMS that indicated that early versions of gnumacs even used some of Gosling's code. Gnumacs is a fine peice of work, but it's not the Deity. It's also a huge binary. -- Fly to the sky on GI-GI____________ and shout to datri@convex.com
