Well, I have received many varied replies to my original question: What is the closest thing that there is to Emacs on the PS/2 running OS/2? First of all, thanks to everybody who answered, both in private email and in public postings. It was all very helpful. Also, my apologies to starting a flame war on gnu.emacs.help. I didn't mean to. Second of all, all that I am placing in this message is information about free software. Here are the results. 1. GNU emacs does not run on OS/2. Someone is currently working on a port, but has not gotten it to Beta (or even Alpha) level yet. In fact, it will not work until OS/2 goes to version 2.0 (because of horrendous things that it does with pointers). 2. MicroEmacs 3.10 has been ported to OS/2. It is free and can be ftp'd from mims-iris.waterloo.edu and funic.funet.fi. It has a C-like extension language. It also runs on other systems. -Colin -- Colin Owen Rafferty | I believe in compulsory cannibalism. colin@nbc1.ge.com | If people were forced to eat (I don't speak for NBC. | what they killed, there would Watch Tom Brokaw for that.) | be no more wars. -- Abbie Hoffman
