Please excuse the reposting of this. I posted it originally and then went on 
vacation. When I got back, the net had been moved to another machine and my 
mail got lost in the suffle. Here goes...

I'm a new MicroVaxII/Ultrix user. I'd like to be using EMACS. I've found 2
commercial sources, Unipress and Uniworks, and public domain GNU. I'd 
appreciate advice about choosing one.

* How do they compare in features and performance?

* How is the support?

* Is the installation straightforward?

* Are there sound reasons for buying a commercial version?

* If I choose GNU, who do I get it from?

Please mail me your responses and I'll post a summary. Thanks in advance.

Doug
