  While that would solve some of my problems, it wouldn't be exactly what
I'd want to see it do. We've got "ean" (care of ubc.ca), and though
ean comes with a nice (I'm told) package for Unipress Emacs, it doesn't
work with our version (no "await-process") and most of the users
prefer ed to the Unipress version.

  Has anyone managed to port that (mocklisp) code to function under emacs?
(Or gotten emacsclient [which is what I set my editor for ean to] to
run across a net? ean refuses to run across the network. We think it
might have something to with the variety of SunOS 3.3/3.4 and 3.5 that
we have. SunOS 4.0 awaits 4meg boards for the dickless stations.)
