We must clarify and correct some information contained in that article.

We feel that our Emacs is VERY GOOD, and that our SGI version is excellent.
The bad news is that SGI distributes our 3-year old release, even though we
have current versions for the SGI.  (Our efforts to get them to switch over
have not been successful.)

We want to announce a new policy:  Anyone with a UniPress Emacs provided by
SGI can get a current version from UniPress for only a media/manual fee of
$75.  We will require only a proof-of-purchase, i.e. a xerox of the tape
cartridge or a copy of the SGI invoice.  Telephone 1-800-222-0550 or email
emacs@unipress.com.


About UniPress Emacs:  Version 2.20E is a full X Window product with mouse
support, multiple frames, cut&paste, scroll bars, etc.  In addition we have
lots of language sensitive support for C, C++, Ada and Fortran.

We ship fully-packaged binary copies -- just load & go.  Also, we have a large
tech-support organization including front-office people and back-office R&D
development.  Emacs continues to be very important to us and we devote much
energy into keeping it very good. Binary worksation price $395; source price
$995. We are VERY FRIENDLY about multiple and site licensing.
