Does anyone out there have the current version of microEMACS? I've got
version 0.6, and it has some noticeable bugs. However, it's incredibly
useful for handling zillion-kilobyte text-only files that MacWrite
would take hours to translate (and still get wrong.) If you have
MicroEMACS >0.6, could you please mail it or post it to
comp.binaries.mac? Thanks!

I've also used Red Writer (aka MockWrite) - it's a good, Mac-standard
interface text-only editor, but it has problems with very large files.
(A 70KB list of bboards gagged it.)

The Rutgers MicroLab had two or three other PD/shareware editors, but
none survived the rigors of trying to start under System 4.1. :-(

If y'all know of a good text-only editor for the Mac other than the
ones I've mentioned, please let us know!
