>   Emacs is fun, but slow because of going through screen codes.

I have a copy of microEmacs 3.9e that I modified to use the Rainbow
direct-to-screen calls.  It's much faster than the ANSI-terminal
version.  It's slower than DED, but oh so much more powerful (multiple
windows, remappable keys, command macros).  I especially like the
autoindent mode for C code.

I would be very willing to let people have it if they want it, but
don't want to devote a whole lot of time to packaging it.  I definitely
do not want to start redistributing source on the net.  (I tried
sending the Rainbow modifications for an earlier version to the owner
of microEmacs.  They seem to have been ignored.) If anyone has a
suggestion, let me know.  In the worst case, a disk an a SASE will get
you a copy of source, binary, and the documentation.

On a completely different subject - I remember hearing some time ago
about a program that let well-behaved CPM programs run under MSDOS.  I
believe that it was available from one or more of the collections of
public domain software.  However, I don't know what it was called.
Does anyone remember this program, know its name, and know if it is on
simtel20 or one of the other systems that collects this kind of stuff?
I'd sure like to be able to throw away my CPM system disks.
