I have been trying to get a correctly functioning version of MicroEMACS
3.7 for about a month now. The latest experience is worth passing along.

I tried the download and uudecode  on the ST with three different (posted)
decoders, and had a variety of failures, and not getting a functioning
ME3.7. Finally, after uudecoding on our VAX (bsd 4.2) I was able to
download a binary version and (taa-daa!) it came up fully functional.

However (here's the good part), while it runs beautifully, it expands
EVERY space to a tab character (Believe it!) I'm not sure what the
probabilities of this happening are but they certainly help one believe
he or she can win a state lottery.

Bottom line...could somone repost the encoded and (please..on my knees..)
sources?
