There are (at least) two editors entitled EMACS on the Berkeley VM/UNIX VAX system. The one by James Gosling of CMU seems to be favored. It has a LISP-like language for extension. It is missing features of various sorts, however. -- CSVAX.fateman at Berkeley

A point of information: There exists an excellent, if not fully mature, EMACS for the VAX running Berkeley UNIX or VMS+EUNICE. The basic editing level is written entirely in C (zero lines of machine code), the macro level is an embedded lisp-like language called MLISP (which is INFINITELY more comprehensable than TECO macros!), and the top level is the usual EMACS double-bucky-coke-bottle command language. Inquiries sould go to GOSLING@CMUA, but I think he is on summer vacation or some such. -- Dave Dyer <DDYER USC-ISIB AT> -------
