   Has anyone seen or heard of an emacs-like editor that runs on a
   PS/2 under OS/2 (either standard or extended edition)?  If there is a
   port of GNU Emacs, that would be even better :-)

Unfortunately, there is no port of GNU Emacs that I know of right now.
In fact, I don't think it will be worth it until OS/2 2.0, when memory
addressing problems and size constraints will go away, and the OS will
be written in 386 code -- GNU Emacs needs to access a lot of memory.

However, I presently am using Epsilon 4.0 from Lugaru Software, Inc.,
and I am very happy with it -- its macro language is *just like* C,
which makes writing new commands really easy.  Check it out.

Hope this helps,
Mark
