Subj: GNU's great !

                        Dear M. Stallman,

        May I introduce myself : my name is Jean-Francois Groff and I'm a
student at the french National Institute of Telecommunications, near Paris.

        I have just discovered, along with a couple of friends here, your
absolutely Won-Der-Ful emacs-like editor (I should rather say it looks better
than any other editor I've ever seen, including Emacs). Congratulations.

        We would be interested in a WIMP version of this software product, in
order to use it efficiently on our Sun stations. So, if ever it exists...

        Also, I would like to know about the new GNU developments you're
talking about in your "GNU manifesto".

        You may need to know that our GNU-Emacs bears the version number 18.51
and is dated March 3rd, 1989.

        Hoping to read from you on GROFF@FRINT51 !

        Greetings,

                Jeff,

                & my friend : Pulsor.

P.S. :  I'm sorry to have written this to you in your BUG-address, it was the
        only one I immediately found.
