Aucbvax.2921 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Thu Sep 3 06:02:48 1981 Unix EMACS >From z@CCA-UNIX Thu Sep 3 05:54:22 1981 I too have an EMACS which runs on VAXes under 4.1BSD. It differs from Gosling's EMACS in that the user interface is virtually identical to that of Twenex EMACS; almost all of the standard EMACS commands have been implemented, and in most cases they work exactly the same as on Twenex. It has such features as real control-meta commands, region filtering, text justifying, crash recovery, automatic backup file creation, Lisp mode commands for manipulating s-expressions, lists, and defuns, keyboard macros, a tutorial, and all the standard EMACS online documentation except the INFO subsystem, which will be coming later. It doesn't currently have a macro language, but I am about to add one; it will look much like the meta-Lisp in Gosling's EMACS.
