We have an interest in providing the GNU Emacs editor for a group of users
on a VMS 4.7 system.  Most of our users currently use CCA and/or UniPress
emacs.  Since our exposure to GNU Emacs' is minimal, I wanted to ask this
newsgroup the following questions:





        1)  What are the pros & cons of obtaining a release of GNU-EMACS
            tailored for VMS, verses going after a recent Unix release?

        2)  Has anyone converted a group of users from either CCA and/or
            UniPress emacs before, and if so do you have any hints,
            literature or the likes which you would care to share?  Anyone
            have a one page "cheat" sheet for getting new users of GNU emacs
            started?

        3)  There appears to be a high number of updates released.  If so,
            what is a reasonable approach to ensuring GNU Emacs is current
            without becoming over burdened with maintenance.

Please respond directly to me and if I recent enough responses, I'll post a
summary to this bulletin bboard.
