The GNU project has released its first major subsystem,
the EMACS editor. This editor is a sophisticated screen
editor that is compatible and comparable with the EMACS
editors being sold by UniPress and CCA. It comes with
Mock Lisp ( did you know that UniPress trademarked MLISP??),
and all the little bells and features most of us expect
with EMACS.
The GNU version of EMACS, written by Richard Stallman, is
available for distribution. The distribution includes all
source code for EMACS and a source code level debugger.
Furthermore, under the GNU project banner, the EMACS system
can be distributed (in source code form) by one and all.
I was thinking of sending out the source code over the net,
but resisted : it is over 1Mbyte of code. If there is
enough demand, I will add a UUCP dial-in to our system, or
send out tapes, or ... ?
Is anyone interested in EMACS? If so, please tell me how
you think I should distribute it?
