>> IMHO, the ultimate text editor would be to port GNU Emacs to the Amiga,

But it won't run on a typical 1-meg Amiga. Other than that, I agree
with you.

The binaries are on a fish Disk. Sources can be gotten from
jade.berkeley.edu, in pub/mg (last time I looked, anyway) to compile
under either Manx 3.6 or (sorta-kinda) Lattice 4.x.

Yes, it's got an ARexx port. Also got a much-improved keyboard macro
support, so you can name the keyboard macro "M-x rexx C-m compile C-m"
as "compile", and do M-x compile and have it do make in the
background, output going into a buffer after it's done. A side affect
of this is the abilty to run keyboard macros inside keyboard macros.
For those of you with funny keyboards, the 8bit character support has
been worked out with input from people who use them regularly.

The sources to various beta versions of mg3 are in the same place as
mg2. There are known bugs in all the betas. One of these days, I'm
going settle down, roll in the DECStation code, and do another
beta....
