   My experience with Unipress EMACS on a 386 makes me suspect that
   GNUmacs would also be dog-slow. I am now a happy user of Epsilon,
   an efficient reimplementation of The Concept.

Oh, but I beg to differ - I've been *very* impressed with the speed of
GNU 18.52 on my Zenith 386 (16 Mhz, 6 Mb real memory).  It loads and
runs very fast, and I'm used to running it on a VAX 8530 and on a Sun
3/60.  I would *highly* recommend GNU on a fast Xenix machine.
