I have been looking (for about a month) for a public domain 
full screen editor for the ST. I have tried both local
ST groups, and calling BBSs in different parts of the country.

Can anybody (especially the Atari-guy) point me in the right
direction, or is it to early yet for anyone to have designed
a public domain editor? (Something akin to PC-WRITE for the
IBMs would be great...)

Thanks in advance...

Has anybody tried porting GNU Emacs to the ST?  It ought to run fine
in a meg machine, unless the C compiler and environment are too far
off from Unix.  (Of course, you'd need a hard disk to compile it,
since the source is about 8 megs -- and even the executable image
might not fit on a floppy.).

There is a program called Micro Emacs that has been ported to the Amiga.
I believe it originally ran on the IBM. It may not be too hard to move
it to the Atari.

I think the binary is about 40KB on the Amiga and it does NOT require
a hard disk to compile. There is no Mlisp. Changing key definitions
requires recompiling one of the routines.

Also, someone recently posted a VI like editor to net.sources.
(or was it mod.sources?)

Anything that big isn't worth compiling.

  MicroEMACS was supplied to me by Atari(UK) with the developement ki
It is about 28k object code plus 128k documentation.
I much prefer '1st Word' the word processor distributed in lieu of
Gemwrite.
