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. Since
I got a new PB 145 to just type in text and C code, I suddenly realize
how essential this editor is to me.
You could:
1) Buy MachTen by Tenon; it's a Mach that runs under MacOS (and on
PowerBooks, no less!)
2) Hack the source to micro-emacs
3) Hack the source for GNU Emacs (...NOT!)
or:
4) ftp cs.rics.edu user anonymous password:yourname@yoursite
cd pub/Alpha
get Alpha.5.04.sea.hqx
Alpha is a cool editor with most of emacs functinoality, and it
is configurable using the "tickle" extension language. It's share-
ware, and some of the best money I've spent (along with ZTerm)
It of course also allows for full mouse-editting. You can hack
menus, command-control-option-escape-ctrl-X-keys, and just about
anything else to customize the editor.
And I'm only a satisfied user, no less!
