Emacs for the 'Bow?

       Can anyone recommend an emacs-like editor for the Rainbow?  I've been
using SEDT, which has plenty of features, but I want my keystrokes! (I've
edited the SEDT keymap, but that was no fun...).
	I guess I'm looking for a Freemacs or Microemacs version for the
rainbow.

Micro Emacs version 3.9e is available from drycas.  All that is there
is the executable and all the files you need to run it.  I did a 3.10
port about 6 months ago, but there were a couple of bugs that I
couldn't find/fix so I never did release it.  The big advantage of
3.10 is that file reads/writes seem much faster.  You can run
microemacs under code blue and use the IBM version.  I haven't done
this personally, but I understand that it works well.

There is no port of freemacs to the Rainbow that I'm aware of.  It
wouldn't be that hard, just no one that I'm aware of has sat down and
done it.

P.S.  Does anybody know what it means when you turn on your Rainbow
and NOTHING happens?  No screen, no fan, no disks spin up?  No, it
isn't upplugged... :-)

Have you paid your electric bill? :)

Seriously, try checking the fuse.

it means:
1) Some one at DEC forgot about UL standards
2) You don't have an IBM PC

Say What?  There is this funny looking UL thing on the bottom of my
Rainbow.

>2) You don't have an IBM PC 

Nope.

Many thanks to Ray Piworunas for making the right call based on a
rather vague and nebulous description.  My ON/OFF switch was broken.
One of the sides of the switch was always open.  So now I have two
Rainbows and one power switch.  Fortunately, the second Rainbow is
also missing other parts :-)

MicroEmacs is available for the BOW. If it is not on the archive at CMU, I can
post it.
