Also sprach Douglas E. Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu): >Emacs is written in elisp. I did cat *.c *.h | wc on /usr/gnu/src/emacs/src and found almost 70.000 lines. If it's not Emacs, what is it? TPU? :-) cat *.el | wc on /usr/gnu/src/emacs/lisp revealed 55.000 lines. However, are any of these 55.000 lines are linked into /usr/gnu/ bin/emacs? How many are really kernel-emacs, and how many are just the editing interface, and special-packages like electric-c? -- Erland Sommarskog - ENEA Data, Stockholm - sommar@enea.se
