>From Ryland@SRI-KL Fri Feb 19 11:06:57 1982 I've heard from Dave Kashtan that DEC has ported EMACS to VMS natively (using their new VMS C compiler, which is supposedly a wonderful compiler). Mayhaps Dave knows when DEC may release such a beast. [ Editor's note: David sent me the following further information. It probably doesn't help Steve very much, since he wants an Emacs-like editor without hassling about licensing (either Eunice, Unix Emacs, or DEC C. He's just a user on that system, not a system administrator). But the information seems of general interest to editor-people. /jqj ] -------------------------------- Date: 19 Feb 1982 0855-PDT From: KASHTAN at SRI-IU Subject: Re: [Chris Ryland <Ryland at SRI-KL>: EMACS on a VAX] To: Admin.JQJ at SU-SCORE Reply-To: KASHTAN at SRI-IU It is true. I have a tape in my office of an OLD version of EMACS that only uses the DEC supported runtime system for VAX-11 "C". They are supposed to send me a new version when it is ready. I don't know how hacked it is, since I haven't had time to look at it yet. I also don't know what the availability of this will be since you will have to get permission from Jim Gosling and DEC in order to run it. David ------
