In article <p8knq8d.spworley@netcom.com>, spworley@netcom.com asks: >I'm looking for an Emacs port for the Mac: I have microemacs from >sumex-aim, but I really want a complete emacs, instead of the >tiny subset that microemacs has. (It doesn't even have search-and-replace!) >If I can find a PD or shareware version, great, but I'd be even willing >to pay for a commercial port or clone, like Epsilon on the PC. This question has an easy answer: Alpha (shareware) is an excellent emacs- clone/workalike. The current version 5.04 is available on cs.rice.edu in /public/Alpha. It's got most of the same features that make emacs addictive; it's fully programmable through its embedded implementation of "tcl" and has with grep-like search/replace built-in. For $25 shareware, it's possibly the best buy in Mac software. -- -- Bill Johnston (johnston@me.udel.edu) -- 38 Chambers Street; Newark, DE 19711; (302)368-1949
